Unit 3 Lesson 4 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Unit 3 Lesson 4: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Lesson Overview
Perpendicular Transversal Theorem
What You Will Learn
- understanding how to use similar reasoning to prove that lines are parallel or perpendicular.
Overview
In the Solve It, you likely made your conjecture about Oak Street and Court Road based on their relationships to Schoolhouse Road. In this lesson, you will use similar reasoning to prove that lines are parallel or perpendicular.
Essential Understanding
You can use the relationships of two lines to a third line to decide whether the two lines are parallel or perpendicular.
