Exploring Angles Formed by Parallel Lines and Transversals

What are the steps to solve problems involving parallel lines cut by a transversal?

• Identify angles, set up algebra, find the answer

• Draw more lines, make assumptions, solve randomly

• Memorize all angle measures, avoid algebra, guess the answer

• Guess the angle measures, check with a protractor, correct mistakes
