Parallel Lines

Parallel lines cut by a transversal The document defines and illustrates key angle relationships that occur when parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, including corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, same-side interior angles, and same-side exterior angles. It provides an example problem calculating the measures of various angles given one initial angle measurement.

Parallel lines cut by a transversal

Parallel Lines and Transversal

A transversal is a line that intersects two lines in the same plane at two
different points.

• CD and AB be parallel.
• EF is transversal.
• G and H are points of intersection.
Corresponding angles – a pair of non-adjacent interior and exterior
angles on the same side of a transversal.

If CD⃡ ║ AB⃡ , then


∠CGE ≅
∠AHG.
Example:
If m∠CGE = 140,
then m∠AHG = 140.

∠DGE ≅ ∠BHG.
Corresponding Angles

∠CGH ≅ ∠AHF.

∠DGH ≅ ∠BHF.
Alternate interior angles – a pair of non-adjacent interior angles on opposite
side of a transversal.

∠CGH ≅ ∠BHG

∠DGH ≅ ∠AHG.
Alternate exterior angles – a pair of non-adjacent exterior angles on
opposite side of a transversal.

∠CGE ≅ ∠BHF

∠DGE ≅ ∠AHF
Same-side interior angles – interior angles on the same side of a
transversal.
∠CGH and ∠AHG are
supplementary
Example:
If m ∠CGH = 40,
then m ∠AHG = 140
because they are
supplementary.

∠DGH and ∠BHG are


supplementary.
Same-side exterior angles – exterior angles on the same side of a
transversal.
∠CGE and ∠AHF are
supplementary.

∠DGE and ∠BHF are


supplementary.
Example:
If m∠DGE = 40,
then m∠BHF = 140
because they are
supplementary.
Example

Example: If m∠1= 55, what are the measures of:


1. ∠ 2 5. ∠6
2. ∠ 3 6. ∠ 7
3. ∠ 4 7. ∠ 8
4. ∠ 5
Solution:

1. If 1 & 2 are a linear pair, then they are supplementary.


Therefore, m∠2 = 180 – 55 = 125

2. If ∠ 1 & ∠3 are vertical angles, then they are congruent.


Therefore, m∠3 = 55

3. If ∠ 2 & ∠4 are vertical angles, then they are congruent.


Therefore, m∠4 = 125
Solution

4. If  1 & 5 are corresponding angles, then they are congruent.


Therefore, m∠5 = 55

5. If ∠ 4 & ∠6 are alternate interior angles, then they are congruent.


Therefore, m∠6 = 125
Solution

6. If ∠ 1 & ∠7 are alternate exterior angles, then they are


congruent.
Therefore, m∠7 = 55

7. If ∠ 1 & ∠8 are same-side exterior angles, then they are


supplementary.
Therefore, m∠8 = 180 – 55 = 125
