Why Must Parallel Lines Lie in the Same Plane?
You'll learn: Lines that never meet but lie in different planes are not parallel; parallel lines must share a plane.

Why Are Alternate Interior Angles Equal on Parallel Lines?
You'll learn: Alternate interior angles are equal because each equals the same corresponding angle.
Why Do Same-Side Interior Angles Add to 180°?
3:21
Why Do Same-Side Interior Angles Add to 180°?
You'll learn: One same-side interior angle equals the angle forming a linear pair with the other, so the two add to 180°.
