About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 5.15
Assignment 5.15 is an introduction to writing proofs for congruent triangles in which the triangles have a pair of parallel sides with alternate interior angles.
Prerequisite Skills: Identify conditions for triangle congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL) (Assignment 5.5). Name pairs of congruent alternate interior angles determined by parallel lines (Assignment 4.6).
Theorem: Alternate Interior Angles: if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the alternate interior angles are congruent.
