Transversal Intersects Parallel Lines
[b][color=#980000]Students:[/color][/b][br][br]Use the GeoGebra applet above to help you complete the [b][color=#1e84cc]Transversals, Lines, & Related Angles[/color][/b] investigation given to you at the beginning of class.
Quadrilateral: Exterior Angles
Before you begin:[br][br]Feel free to move this quadrilateral's vertices (corners) wherever you'd like. [br][b][color=#ff0000]You can control the size of the red exterior angle by using the red slider.[br][/color][color=#1e84cc]You can control the size of the blue exterior angle by using the blue slider. [br][/color][/b][br]This applet works best if this quadrilateral is kept [b]convex[/b]. If you don't remember what this means, [br][url=https://www.geogebra.org/m/knnPDMR3]click here for a refresher[/url]. [br][br]Interact with the applet for a minute or two. [br]Then answer the question that follows.
What can you conclude about the measures of the exterior angles of ANY QUADRILATERAL? How do you know this?
Parallelogram interior angles
If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. If one angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles in a quadrilateral, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. |
