In practice however the lines cannot be extended beyond the paper. Therefore it is not convenient to test paper. parallelism by looking for a point of intersection. intersection.
If however a transversal is drawn across lines l and m in the figure, all the eight angles formed can be measured. measured.
By using properties of these angles that are given in section 1.6 line l and m can be shown to be parallel. Lines l and m are parallel if : 1) corresponding angles formed by line n are equal in measure, 2) alternate interior angles are equal in measures, 3) the measures of alternate exterior angles are equal, 4) consecutive interior angles are supplementary, 5) consecutive exterior angles are supplementary. These are called conditions for parallelism.
