Lines are parallel to a third line then the lines are parallel to each other.
If two Lines are parallel to a third line then the lines are parallel to each other.
Given: It is given that three lines l, m, and n, and line l ∥ line m and line m ∥ line n.
To Prove: Line l ∥ Line n
Proof: Let us draw a line p transversal for lines l, m, and n.
For lines l and m with transversal p
∠1 = ∠2 (Corresponding angles)…(1)
For lines m and n with transversal p
∠2 = ∠3 (Corresponding angles)…(2)
From (1) and (2)
∠1 = ∠3
But ∠1 = ∠3, are Corresponding angles for lines l and n with transversal p, and Corresponding angles are equal.
Therefore, we can say that line l and n are parallel.
So, Line l ∥ Line n.
Hence proved.
