II. Concept Notes/Digest/Background information/Illustrative Examples

What is a parallel line?

Parallel lines are coplanar (lies in the same plane), the same distance apart
and never touches or intersect.

What Is a Transversal?
A transversal line is a line that intersects two or
more lines.

Recall that if two parallel lines are cut by a

transversal, then
• the pair of corresponding angles is equal (∠2
= ∠6); (∠3 = ∠7); (∠1 = ∠5); (∠4 = ∠8).
• the pair of interior alternate angles is equal
(∠4 = ∠6); (∠3 = ∠5).
• the pair of exterior alternate angles is equal
(∠1 = ∠7); (∠2 = ∠8).
• interior angles on the same side of transversal
are supplementary, i.e., ∠3 + ∠6 = 180° and ∠4 + ∠5 = 180°.
Illustrative Examples:
Find the value of x to show that 𝑎 ∥ 𝑏 given the following:

1. Given:
𝒎∠𝟏 = (2𝒙 + 𝟓)° 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎∠𝟖 = (𝒙 + 5𝟓)°

Solution:
Let, 𝑚∠1 = 𝑚∠8 𝒎∠𝟏 = 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟓 Thus, x=5 0 ° and alternate interior
2𝑥 + 5 = 𝑥 + 55 𝑚∠1 = 2(50) + 5 angles are congruent.
2𝑥 − 𝑥 = 55 − 5 𝑚∠1 = 105° ∴a∥b
𝒙 = 50°
𝒎∠𝟖 = 𝒙 + 5𝟓
𝑚∠8 = (50) + 55
𝑚∠8 = 105°

2. Given:
𝒎∠3 = (4𝒙 - 7)° 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎∠7 = (2𝒙 + 35)° 𝒎∠3 = 4𝒙 - 7
Solution: 𝑚∠3 = 4(21) - 7 Thus, x=21 ° and
Let, 𝑚∠3 = 𝑚∠7 𝑚∠3 = 77° corresponding angles are
4𝑥 − 7 = 2𝑥 + 35 congruent.
4 x−2 x =35+ 7 𝒎∠7 = 2𝒙 + 35 ∴a∥b
2x 42 𝑚∠7 = 2(21) + 35
= 𝑚∠7 = 77°

x=2 1°
III. Activities/Exercises

A. Use the diagram of the two parallel lines below to answer the
following:

1. ∠ 1 and ∠ 5 are called __________________ angles.

2. ∠ 4 and ∠ 6 are called __________________ angles.
3. ∠ 3 and ∠ 6 are called __________________ angles.

B. Choose the word(s) that best completes the statements.

1. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are (complementary,
congruent, supplementary), then the lines are parallel.
 2. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that same-side interior angles are (complementary,
congruent, supplementary), then the lines are parallel.
3. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that (alternate exterior, alternate interior,
corresponding) angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

C. Find the value of b to prove that x ∥ v cut by a transversal t given the following:

1. Given: m ∠4=(2b−75)°
m ∠ 8=(b−6)°

2. Given: m ∠ 5=(3 b−4) °

m ∠7=(b+7 6)°

C. 1. Given: 2. Given:
m ∠4=(2b−75)° m ∠ 5=(3 b−4) °
m ∠ 8=(b−6)° m ∠7=(b+7 6)°
Solution: Solution:
Let, 𝑚∠4 = 𝑚∠8 Let, 𝑚∠5 = 𝑚∠7
2 b−75=b−6 3 b−4=b+ 7 6
2 b−b=−6+75 3 b−b=7 6+4
b=69 ° 2b 80 °
m ∠ 4=2 b−75 =
2 2
m ∠4=2(69)−75 b=4 0 °
m ∠ 4=63 °
m ∠ 5=3 b−4
m ∠ 8=b−6 m ∠ 5=3(4 0)−4
m ∠8=(69)−6 m ∠ 5=116 °
m ∠ 8=63 °
Thus, b=69 ° and alternate exterior angles m ∠ 7=b +7 6
are congruent. m ∠ 7=( 4 0 ) +7 6
m ∠ 7=116 °
Thus, b=4 0 ° and corresponding angles are
congruent.
