Two lines, AB and EF are parallel to a third line, CD. What relationship exists between the two lines AB and EF?
They are parallel to each other
Shown below are two lines, AB and EF, which are parallel to a common line, CD. Let K be the transversal passing through the three lines.
We know that if a transversal intersects two parallel lines then the corresponding angles are equal.
as AB∥CD, ∠1=∠2 [corresponding angles]
as CD∥EF, ∠2=∠3 [corresponding angles]
Hence, ∠1=∠3
Therefore, AB is parallel to EF.
