3.05 Parallel lines and transversals

Interactive practice questions

Select the diagram showing a pair of parallel lines:

Two lines with arrowheads at their endpoints indicating that the lines extend indefinitely in both directions. Both lines have an identical arrow marking, pointing in the same direction.

A

Two lines with arrowheads at their endpoints indicating that the lines extend indefinitely in both directions. The arrowheads pointing at the top right direction are closer to each other than the arrowheads pointing at the bottom left direction.

B

Two lines with arrowheads at their endpoints indicating that the lines extend indefinitely in both directions. The arrowheads pointing at the left direction are closer to each other than the arrowheads pointing at the right direction.

C

Two lines with arrowheads at their endpoints indicating that the lines extend indefinitely in both directions. The arrowheads pointing at the top left direction are closer to each other than the arrowheads pointing at the bottom right direction.

8.G.A.2

Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.
