Determine which of the following lines is parallel to line . You may use any method you choose - be ready to explain it to the class! After you make your selections, jot down some notes about what it means for two lines to be parallel.
Does your meaning of “parallel lines” still hold in three dimensional space? Explain your thinking using a drawing or a physical model.

In each of the three examples below, you are given one pair of lines that appear to be parallel, and a transversal to those lines. Which of the pairs of lines are actually parallel? Justify your answer in at least two ways.

The figure below shows two parallel lines and a transversal. All of the angles are labeled with letters starting with in the upper left hand corner, then moving in alphabetical order counter clockwise around the upper intersection and then the lower intersection.

List all of the angles that have the same measure as angle . Explain how you know your answer is correct.
