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°

Proofs can be written in 3-different ways:

 Flow Chart Proof
 Paragraph Form
 Two-Column Form
Illustrative Examples:
Given: l ∥ m
Prove: ∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑟y
 Proof:
Flow Chart Proof

∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6 𝑎𝑟𝑒
∠1 ≅ ∠5 ∠4 ≅ ∠6
l ∥m 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑦
Corresponding Alternate Interior
Given Same side interior angles
angles are congruent angles are congruent
are supplementary
Paragraph Form

Since l ∥ m, then ∠1 ≅ ∠5 by definition of corresponding angles. Thus, ∠4 ≅ ∠6 by

definition of alternate interior angles. So, ∠3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑦 by definition
of same side interior angles.

Two – Column Form

STATEMENTS REASONS
l ∥m Given
∠1 ≅ ∠5 Corresponding angles are congruent
∠4 ≅ ∠6 Alternate Interior angles are congruent
𝑚∠6 + 𝑚∠3 = 180° Sum of interior angles is 180°
∠4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠6 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑦 Definition of Supplementary Angles

III. Activities/Exercises

A. Fill Me !
Directions: 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 Me Right!
Directions: 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. Prove It!
Directions: The figure shows that x ∥ y . Prove that ∠7 ≅ ∠3. Write your proofs in
3-different ways.
