∠ 1 = ∠ 3 (Corresponding angles axiom) ……(2) ∠ 1 = ∠ 2 (Corresponding angles axiom) ……(1) Proof: Line p and r are parallel and lines p and q are parallel to each other and line l is traversal. To Prove: Lines which are parallel to the same line are parallel to each other (p || q || r). If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of corresponding angles is equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other. The converse of corresponding angles axiom is stated as: This implies, that all the four pairs of corresponding angles are equal to each other. In this way, it is also can be proved that: Similarly, from (1) and (3) it is concluded that: So, from equation (1) and (2) it is concluded that: ∠ 3 + ∠ 6 = 180° (Adjacent angle of parallelogram) ……(1)

Proof: Line m and n are parallel to each other and line l is traversal. To Prove: Corresponding angles are equal. If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, such that a pair of corresponding angles is equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other. Therefore, the Corresponding Angles Axiom is stated as: The two angles that are opposite to each other as ∠1 and ∠3 in the figure are called vertical angles. In this case where the adjacent angles are formed by two lines intersecting two pairs of adjacent angles that are supplementary are obtained. angles ∠1 and ∠2 or ∠6 and ∠5 in the figure are called adjacent angles. The angles which share the same vertex and have a common ray, e.g. The angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate angles e.g. ∠4 and ∠5 are called interior angles whereas the angles that are on the outer side of the two lines e.g.

Moreover, the angles that are in the area between the lines e.g. All angles that have the same position with respect to the lines and the transversal are the pair of corresponding angles. As observed in the figure below, ∠2 and ∠6 constitute a pair of corresponding angles. The eight angles together form four pairs of corresponding angles. Therefore, line l is a transversal for lines m and n where eight different angles are obtained. The figure below shows both parallel and transversal lines along with the corresponding angles formed by them as:Ĭonsider a line l that intersects lines m and n at points P and Q respectively.

Based on our review of the research literature published during this time span (in refereed journal articles, conference proceedings and edited books), we have jointly identified seven major threads of contributions that span from the early years of learning (pre-school and primary school) through to post-compulsory education and to the issue of mathematics teacher education for geometry. This survey on the theme of Geometry Education (including new technologies) focuses chiefly on the time span since 2008.
