APPLICATION: Sailing
When you float in an innertube on a windy day, you getblown in the direction of thewind. Sailboats are designed to sail against the wind.
Most sailboats can sail at anangle of 45° to the directionfrom which the wind is blowing,as shown below. If a sailboatheads directly into the wind, thesail flaps and is useless.
You’ll learn how to analyze linessuch as the paths of sailboats inChapter 3.
Think & Discuss1. What do you think the measure of ™1 is?
Use a protractor to check your answer.
2. If the boats always sail at a 45° angle to thewind, and the wind doesn’t change direction,do you think the boats’ paths will ever cross?
Learn More About ItYou will learn more about the paths of sailboatsin Example 4 on p. 152.

To write “AB¯̆
is parallel to CD¯̆
,” you write AB¯̆
∞ CD¯̆
. Triangles like those on AB¯̆

There is more than one way to write a proof. The two-column proof below isfrom Lesson 2.6. It can also be written as a paragraph proof or as a flow proof. A uses arrows to show the flow of the logical argument. Each reasonin a flow proof is written below the statement it justifies.

Estimating Earth’s Circumference
HISTORY CONNECTION Eratosthenes wasa Greek scholar. Over 2000 years ago, heestimated Earth’s circumference by using the fact that the Sun’s rays are parallel.
Eratosthenes chose a day when the Sunshone exactly down a vertical well in Syeneat noon. On that day, he measured the anglethe Sun’s rays made with a vertical stick inAlexandria at noon. He discovered that
m™2 ≈ �510� of a circle.
By using properties of parallel lines, heknew that m™1 = m™2. So he reasoned that
m™1 ≈ �510� of a circle.
At the time, the distance from Syene to Alexandria was believed to be 575 miles.
�510� of a circle ≈
Earth’s circumference ≈ 50(575 miles) Use cross product property.
≈ 29,000 miles
How did Eratosthenes know that m™1 = m™2?
SOLUTION
Because the Sun’s rays are parallel, l1 ∞ l2. Angles 1 and 2 are alternate interiorangles, so ™1 £ ™2. By the definition of congruent angles, m™1 = m™2.

Proving Linesare Parallel
PROVING LINES ARE PARALLEL
To use the theorems you learned in Lesson 3.3, you must first know that two linesare parallel. You can use the following postulate and theorems to prove that twolines are parallel.
The following theorems are converses of those in Lesson 3.3. Remember that theconverse of a true conditional statement is not necessarily true. Thus, each of thefollowing must be proved to be true. Theorems 3.8 and 3.9 are proved inExamples 1 and 2. You are asked to prove Theorem 3.10 in Exercise 30.
GOAL 1
Prove that twolines are parallel.
Use properties ofparallel lines to solve real-life problems, such asproving that prehistoricmounds are parallel in Ex. 19.

CONSTRUCTING PARALLEL LINES
To construct parallel lines, you first need to know how to copy an angle.
In Chapter 4, you will learn why the Copying an Angle construction works. You can use the Copying an Angle construction to construct two congruentcorresponding angles. If you do, the sides of the angles will be parallel.

SLOPE OF PARALLEL LINES
In algebra, you learned that the slope of anonvertical line is the ratio of the vertical change (the rise) to the horizontal change (the run). If the line passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the slope is given by
Slope = �rruis

m = .
Slope is usually represented by the variable m.

WRITING EQUATIONS OF PARALLEL LINES
In algebra, you learned that you can use the slope m of a nonvertical line to writean equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
Writing an Equation of a Line
Write an equation of the line through the point (2, 3) that has a slope of 5.
SOLUTION
Solve for b. Use (x, y) = (2, 3) and m = 5.
y = mx + b Slope-intercept form
3 = 5(2) + b Substitute 2 for x, 3 for y, and 5 for m.
3 = 10 + b Simplify.
º7 = b Subtract.
� Write an equation. Since m=5 and b=º7, an equation of the line is y=5x º 7.
Writing an Equation of a Parallel Line
Line n1 has the equation y = º�13�x º 1.
Line n2 is parallel to n1 and passes through the point (3, 2). Write an equation of n2.
SOLUTION
Find the slope.
The slope of n1 is º�13�. Because parallel
lines have the same slope, the slope of n2 is also º�13�.
Solve for b. Use (x, y) = (3, 2) and m = º�13�.
y = mx + b
2 = º�13�(3) + b
2 = º 1 + b
3 = b
Write an equation.

WRITING EQUATIONS OF PERPENDICULAR LINES
Writing the Equation of a Perpendicular Line
Line l1 has equation y = º2x + 1. Find an equation of the line l2 that passesthrough P(4, 0) and is perpendicular to l1. First you must find the slope, m2.
m1 • m2 = º1 The product of the slopes of fi lines is º1.
º2 • m2 = º1 The slope of l1 is º2.
m2 = �12� Divide both sides by º2.
Then use m = �12� and (x, y) = (4, 0) to find b.
y = mx + b Slope-intercept form
0 = �12�(4) + b Substitute 0 for y, }12} for m, and 4 for x.
º2 = b Simplify.
� So, an equation of l2 is y = �12�x º 2.

RAY TRACING Computer illustrators use raytracing to make accurate reflections. To figureout what to show in the mirror, the computertraces a ray of light as it reflects off the mirror.This calculation has many steps. One of thefirst steps is to find the equation of a lineperpendicular to the mirror.
Writing the Equation of a Perpendicular Line
The equation y = �32�x + 3 represents a mirror.
A ray of light hits the mirror at (º2, 0). Whatis the equation of the line p that isperpendicular to the mirror at this point?
SOLUTION
The mirror’s slope is �32�, so the slope of p is º�
23�.
Use m = º�23� and (x, y) = (º2, 0) to find b.
0 = º�23�(º2) + b
º�43� = b
� So, an equation for p is y = º�23�x º �
43�.
