In the painting, the artist uses lines
and transversals to create patterns.
The figure on the painting shows two
parallel lines with a transversal
passing through them. There is a
special relationship between the angle

PARALLEL LINES AND ANGLE PAIRS
In the figure above,
1 and
2 are
corresponding angles. When the two lines are parallel, there is a special relationship
between these pairs of angles.

Substitution
In Example 1, alternate interior angles 3 and 5 are congruent. This suggests
another special relationship between angles formed by two parallel lines and a
transversal. Other relationships are summarized in Theorems 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
