Study Guide and Intervention Angles and Parallel Lines
Parallel Lines and Angle Pairs When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the following pairs of angles are congruent. • corresponding angles • alternate interior angles • alternate exterior angles Also, consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

Angles and Parallel Lines Algebra and Angle Measures
Algebra can be used to find unknown values in angles formed by a transversal and parallel lines. Example
If m∠1 = 3x + 15, m∠2 = 4x - 5, and m∠3 = 5y, find the value of x and y. p q, so m∠1 = m∠2 because they are corresponding angles. m∠1 = m∠2 3x + 15 = 4x - 5 3x + 15 - 3x = 4x - 5 - 3x 15 = x - 5 15 + 5 = x - 5 + 5
