Lines l and m are parallel. l||m

Note the 4 angles that measure 60. 60 60 60 60 Line n is a transversal. m

Lines l and m are parallel. l||m

There are many pairs of angles that are supplementary. 60 120 60 120 There are 4 pairs of angles that are vertical.

Line n is a transversal.

If two lines are intersected by a transversal and any of the angle pairs shown below are congruent, then the lines are parallel. This fact is used in the construction of parallel lines.
