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. |
