Introductory Concept:

This module is about the angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal. You will learn to
determine the relation between pairs of angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Learning Skills from the MELCs:

The learner derives a relationship among angles formed by a parallel lines cut by a transversal
using measurement and by inductive reasoning. (M7GE-IIIc-1)

Activities:
PARALLEL LINES CUT BY A TRANSVERSAL
In the previous module, you have learned the two pairs of angles; the vertical
angles which are congruent; and the linear pair which are both adjacent and
supplementary since they formed a straight angle and the sum of their measure is
180O. In this module, you will learn how to name and identify angle pairs formed by
parallel lines and transversal and recognize their relationships to find a missing
angle.

Parallel Lines and Transversal

A transversal is a line that intersects two lines in the

same plane at two different points.
In the diagram on the right, let and be parallel.
Because cuts and , the is transversal.

So, the two parallel and cut by the transversal

and G and H are points of intersection.

Directions: Use the figure on the right to

measure the angles formed by the parallel lines
and the transversal using a protractor. Write the
angle measures in the table below. Then make
a conclusion about their angle measures.

Measure

Questions:

1. What can you say about the measures of the following pairs of angles?
a. ∠CGE and ∠AHG, ∠DGE and ∠BHG, ∠CGH and ∠AHF, ∠DGH and ∠BHF
b. ∠CGH and ∠BHG, ∠DGH and ∠AHG
c. ∠CGE and ∠BHF, ∠DGE and ∠AHF
2. What can you say about the sum of the measures of the pairs of angles ∠CGH and
∠AHG? ∠DGH and ∠BHG?

Answers:
1. Pairs of angles from a to c are equal in measures or congruent.
2. Their sum is 180O, so they are supplementary.

Based on the figure above, the angles have special names identifying their
positions with respect to the parallel lines cut by a transversal and it can be
summarized as:

Definition
Corresponding angles – a pair of non-adjacent interior and exterior angles on the same
side of a transversal.
Alternate interior angles – a pair of non-adjacent interior angles on opposite side of a
transversal.
Alternate exterior angles – a pair of non-adjacent exterior angles on opposite side of a
transversal.
Same-side interior angles – interior angles on the same side of a transversal.

Same-side exterior angles – exterior angles on the same side of a transversal.

Finding Unknown Angle Measures

We can find any unknown angle measure when two parallel lines are cut by a
transversal if one angle measure is given.

Use the figure below of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer the example problems.

Example: If m∠1= 55, what are the measures of:

1. ∠2 5. ∠ 6
2. ∠3 6. ∠ 7
3. ∠4 7. ∠ 8
4. ∠5

Solution:

1. If ∠1 & ∠2 are a linear pair, then Therefore, m∠2 = 180 – 55 = 125

they are supplementary.

2. If ∠ 1 & ∠3 are vertical angles, Therefore, m∠3 = 55

then they are congruent.

3. If ∠2 & ∠4 are vertical angles, then Therefore, m∠4 = 125

they are congruent.

4. If ∠1 & ∠5 are corresponding Therefore, m∠5 = 55

angles, then they are congruent.

5. If ∠ 4 & ∠6 are alternate interior Therefore, m∠6 = 125

angles, then they are congruent.

6. If ∠1 & ∠7 are alternate exterior Therefore, m∠7 = 55

angles, then they are congruent.

7. If ∠ 1 & ∠8 are same-side exterior Therefore, m∠8 = 180 – 55 = 125

angles, then they are
supplementary.
