Conditions for Parallel Lines

Theorem. Converse of Same-Side Exterior Angles Theorem
If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of exterior angles on the same side is supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

Prove the theorem as an exercise.

Example 1

In the figure, if 23 and 14, prove that lines l and m are parallel.


Proof:
