ANGLES PAIRS ON PARALLEL LINES

In the following five diagrams, l and m are two lines. The other labels refer to angles. Use the
diagrams below to answer the questions that follow.

a. b. c.

d. e.

1 Complete the table.

Diagram Are the lines Are the Are the alternate Are the co-interior angles d and f equal? If
l and m parallel? corresponding angles c and f not, are they supplementary?
angles a and e equal?
Equal Supplementary
equal?

a yes Yes Yes Yes

b No No No No
c Yes Yes Yes Yes
d Yes Yes Yes Yes
[25]
e No No No No

2 From the table & diagrams above you should have discovered some important facts about
special angles pairs.

When parallel lines are cut by a line and form:

1.3.1 Corresponding angles the angles are equal
1.3.2 Alternate angles the angles are equal
1.3.3 Co-interior angles the angles are supplementary
1.3.4 Vertically opposite angles the angles are equal
