Lines are demonstrated to be parallel by proving that (a) Two alternate interior angles are equal, (b) Two corresponding angles are equal, or (c) Two interior angles on the same side of a transversal are supplementary.

The parallel lines AC and DF are intersected by a transversal in B and E. Proof. ABE and BEF are either equal or unequal. Suppose they are unequal, and let EF" be drawn so that BEF = LABE. Then But EF" AB, (two lines are || if a transversal makes the alt. int. ▲ equal). EF AB. (Hyp.) Therefore two intersecting lines EF and EF" would be parallel to AC, which is impossible. (Ax. 11.) Q.E.D. 88. COR. If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, it is perpendicular to the other also. Ex. 58.
