Key Concepts & Skills:
 Identify angle relationships (e.g. corresponding) when two lines (not parallel) are
intersected by a transversal (3.1)
 Identify parallel, perpendicular and skew lines and parallel planes given in a diagram
 Complete a flow proof by adding reasons for each statement (3-2)
 Perpendicular Line Theorems (3-2)
o If 2 lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the lines are
perpendicular.
o If two sides of two adjacent acute angles are perpendicular, then the angles are
complementary.
o If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form four right angles.
 Apply the parallel line theorems (e.g. Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem) to find angle
measures (3-3)
 Apply the converses of the parallel line theorems to prove lines are parallel (3-4)
 Apply the Dual Parallel and Dual Perpendicular Theorems to prove lines are parallel. (3-5)
 Find the distance between a point and a line and the distance between two parallel lines.
(3-5)
 Find the slope of lines (3-6 & 3-7)
 Determine whether liens are parallel, perpendicular or neither by analyzing the slopes of
the lines. (3-6 & 3-7)
 Write the equation of a line given various scenarios. (3-6 & 3-7)
