Angles and
Parallel Lines
 Intersecting Lines
• Lines that cross at exactly one point.
 Perpendicular Lines
• Lines that intersect to form right angles.
 PARALLEL LINES
• Def: line that do not intersect.

 Examples of Parallel Lines
• Hardwood Floor
• Opposite sides of windows, desks, etc.
• Parking slots in parking lot
• Parallel Parking
• Streets
 Examples of Parallel Lines
• Streets: Belmont & School
 Transversal
• Definition: A line that intersects two or more lines in a
plane at different points is called a transversal.

 Complementary Angles
• Two angles whose measures add to 90˚.
 Adjacent Angles
• Angles in the same plane that have a
common vertex and a common side.
 Angles and Parallel Lines
• If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the
following pairs of angles are congruent.
1. Corresponding angles
2. Alternate interior angles
3. Alternate exterior angles

• If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the

following pairs of angles are supplementary.
1. Consecutive interior angles
2. Consecutive exterior angles Continued…..
 Corresponding Angles
Corresponding Angles: Two angles that occupy
corresponding positions.

 Consecutive Angles
Consecutive Interior Angles: Two angles that lie between
parallel lines on the same sides of the transversal.
m3 +m5 = 180º, m4 +m6 = 180º

Consecutive Exterior Angles: Two angles that lie outside

parallel lines on the same sides of the transversal.

parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal (but not a
linear pair).  3   6,  4   5
