50The construction establishes that there is at least one line through P that is parallel
to MN. In 1795, Scottish physicist and mathematician John Playfair provided the
modern version of Euclid’s Parallel Postulate, which states there is exactly one line
parallel to a line through a given point not on the line.

Parallel Postulate
If given a line and a point not on the line, then there exists
exactly one line through the point that is parallel to the given line.
Parallel lines with a transversal create many pairs of congruent angles. Conversely,
those pairs of congruent angles can determine whether a pair of lines is parallel.

In the figure, BG bisects
ABH. Determine
which lines, if any, are parallel.
A
• The sum of the angle measures
B
in a triangle must be 180, so

D

• Since
BDF and
BGH have the same
measure, they are congruent.
• Congruent corresponding angles
˚
70
G
H
indicate parallel lines. So, DF GH.
•
ABD
DBF, because BG bisects
ABH. So, m ABD
45.
•
ABD and
BDF are alternate interior
angles, but they have different
measures so they are not congruent.
• Thus, AB is not parallel to DF or GH.
