Parallel, Perpendicular & Transversal – Graphic Organizer
Word Meaning
Intersecting lines Lines crossing each other
Point of intersection Meeting point
Linear pair Adjacent angles on a straight line (sum 180°)
Vertically opposite angles Opposite angles formed at intersection
Perpendicular Intersect at 90°
Parallel Never meet
Transversal A line cutting two or more lines
Corresponding angles Same relative position
Alternate interior angles Inside & on opposite sides
Interior angles Angles inside the two lines
⭐ NOTES (Simple + Useful)
Intersecting Lines
Two lines that cross at a point.
Form 4 angles.
Vertically opposite angles = equal.
Linear pair = sum 180°.
Perpendicular Lines
Intersect at right angle (90° each).
All 4 angles formed are equal.
Parallel Lines
Never meet even when extended.
Symbol: l ∥ m
Must lie in the same plane.
Transversal
A line that cuts two or more lines.
Creates groups of angles:
1. Corresponding angles → equal
2. Alternate interior angles → equal
3. Alternate exterior angles → equal
4. Interior angles on same side → supplementary (sum = 180°)
⭐ ASSERTION–REASON QUESTIONS
Q1.
Assertion (A): Vertically opposite angles are always equal.
Reason (R): They form a linear pair.
Answer: A is true, R is false.
Linear pairs are adjacent angles, not vertically opposite.
Q2.
A: If corresponding angles are equal, the lines are parallel.
R: Equal corresponding angles imply same angle of inclination.
Answer: Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.
⭐ CASE–BASED QUESTIONS
Case 1: Road Junction
Two roads AB and CD cross each other. The angle between them is 50°.
1. Find the vertically opposite angle.
2. Find the linear pair angle.
3. Are all adjacent angles equal?
Answers:
1. 50°
2. 180° – 50° = 130°
3. No, only opposite ones are equal.
