Looking Back at your Lesson

From the previous lesson, you have learned that when lines intersect and connect to each
other, different pairs of angles will be formed. These pairs of angles may differ from their angle
measurements and their positions on a plane. The following are the Pairs of Angle:
1. Complementary angles - two angles with sum of their measures exactly equal to 90°.
2. Supplementary angles - two angles with sum of their measures exactly equal to180°.
3. Adjacent angles – are two coplanar angles with a common vertex, a common side but no
common interior points.
4. Linear pair – are two angles which are adjacent and supplementary.
5. Congruent angles – are two angles with the same measurements.
6. Vertical angles – are two non - adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.

Introduction
Observe the picture below:

Notice that the picture shows the map of Tala High School as viewed on Google Map. Observe
that it displays various roads depicting different lines which connect and intersect each other. Note
that there is a line that intersects two lines at the same time which forms pairs of angles. This line is
what we called the Transversal line.

Lesson 1: Transversal
What is a transversal line?
A transversal line is a line which intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points.
When a line intersects two lines at different points, the following angles are formed:
● Interior angles
● Exterior angles
● Corresponding angles
● Alternate - interior angles
● Alternate - exterior angles

 ● Consecutive Interior angles or Interior angle on the same side of the transversal
● Consecutive Exterior angle or Exterior angles on the same side of the transversal

7. Name all the interior angles on the same side of the transversal.
8. Name all the exterior angles on the same side of the transversal

Solutions:
1. line 𝑐 is the transversal since it intersects line 𝑑 and line 𝑒 at different points
2. ∠3, ∠4, ∠5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6 are the interior angles
3. ∠1, ∠2, ∠7 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠8 are the exterior angles
4. Pairs of corresponding angles: ∠1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠5, ∠2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6, ∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠7, ∠4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠8
5. Pairs of alternate interior angles: ∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6, ∠4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠5
6. Pairs of alternate exterior angles: ∠1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠8 , ∠2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠7
7. Interior angles on the same side of the transversal: ∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑∠5, ∠4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6
8. Exterior angles on the same side of the transversal: ∠1 𝑎𝑛𝑑∠7, ∠2 𝑎𝑛𝑑∠8

Lesson 2: Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

If a transversal line cuts parallel lines, different relationships will be formed among the pairs
of angles. These relationships are stated and illustrated in the following postulates and properties.

Corresponding Angles Postulate

MATH 7 QUARTER 3 WEEK 3

Solutions:
1. 𝑚∠1 = 79° since ∠1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠5 are corresponding angles.
2. 𝑚∠4 = 56° since ∠4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6 are consecutive exterior angles which are supplementary.
3. 𝑚∠8 = 69° since ∠2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠8 are consecutive interior angles which are supplementary.
4. To find x, we need to form our equation first before solving.

2𝑥 + 40 = 𝑥 + 75 - Since ∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑∠7 are congruent

(Corresponding Angles)
Solving:
2𝑥 + 40 + (−40) = 𝑥 + 75 + (−40) - Addition Property of Equality (APE)
2𝑥 = 𝑥 + 35 - Adding similar terms
2𝑥 + (−𝑥) = 𝑥 + (−𝑥) + 35 - Removing “x” by APE on the other side
𝑥 = 35

5. We need to formulate the equation first.

Since the two angles are consecutive exterior angles, it follows that 𝑚∠4 + 𝑚∠6 = 180°.
So, the equation will be 2𝑥 + 10 + 3𝑥 − 20 = 180.

Solving:
2𝑥 + 3𝑥 + 10 − 20 = 180 - Rearranging the equation
5𝑥 − 10 = 180 - Combining like terms
5𝑥 − 10 + 10 = 180 + 10 -Addition Property of Equality (APE)
5𝑥 = 190 - Simplifying the equation
1 1
(5)5𝑥 = 190(5) - Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE)
𝑥 = 38

To find the actual measure of ∠4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6, substitute the obtained value of x.
𝑥 = 38, thus :
𝑚∠4 = 2𝑥 + 10 𝑚∠6 = 3𝑥 − 20
= 2(38) + 10 = 3(38) − 20
= 76 + 10 = 114 − 20
𝑚∠4 = 86° 𝑚∠6 = 94°
