About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 4.6:
Assignment 4.6 is the development and application of theorems about the measures of pairs of angles determined by parallel lines intersected by a transversal.
Prerequisite Skills: Measure angles with a protractor (Assignment 2.6). Calculate the measures of angles in linear pairs (Assignment 4.4).
Theorems: If parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent.
If parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
If parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the same side interior angles are supplementary.
