Two lines that are stretched into infinity and still never intersect are called coplanar lines and are said to be parallel lines. The symbol for "parallel to" is //. If we have two lines (they don't have to be parallel) and have a third line that crosses them as in the figure below - the crossing line is called a transversal:  In the following figure: If we draw to parallel lines and then draw a line transversal through them we will get eight different angles. The eight angles will together form four pairs of corresponding angles. Angles F and B in the figure above constitutes one of the pairs. Corresponding angles are congruent if the two lines are parallel. All angles that have the same position with regards to the parallel lines and the transversal are corresponding pairs. Angles that are in the area between the parallel lines like angle H and C above are called interior angles whereas the angles that are on the outside of the two parallel lines like D and G are called exterior angles. Angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate angles e.g. H and B. Angles that share the same vertex and have a common ray, like angles G and F or C and B in the figure above are called adjacent angles. As in this case where the adjacent angles are formed by two lines intersecting we will get two pairs of adjacent angles (G + F and H + E) that are both supplementary. Two angles that are opposite each other as D and B in the figure above are called vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent. $$\angle A\; \angle F\; \angle G\; \angle D\;are\; exterior\; angles\\ \angle B\; \angle E\; \angle H\; \angle C\;are\; interior\; angles\\ \angle B\;and\; \angle E,\; \angle H\;and\; \angle C\;are\; consecutive\; interior\; angles\\ \angle A\;and\; \angle G,\; \angle F\;and\; \angle D\;are\; alternate\; exterior\; angles\\ \angle E\;and\; \angle C,\; \angle H\;and\; \angle B\;are\; alternate\;interior\; angles\\ \left.\begin{matrix} \angle A\;and\; \angle E,\; \angle C\;and\; \angle G\\ \angle D\;and\; \angle H,\; \angle F\;and\; \angle B\\ \end{matrix}\right\} \;are\; corresponding\; angles$$ Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect in a right angle. The axes of a coordinate plane is an example of two perpendicular lines. In algebra 2 we have learnt how to find the slope of a line. Two parallel lines have always the same slope and two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1.

In geometry, a transversal is a line that intersects two or more other (often parallel ) lines. In the figure below, line n is a transversal cutting lines l and m .
When two or more lines are cut by a transversal, the angles which occupy the same relative position are called corresponding angles . In the figure the pairs of corresponding angles are: ∠ 1 and ∠ 5 ∠ 2 and ∠ 6 ∠ 3 and ∠ 7 ∠ 4 and ∠ 8 When the lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are congruent . When two lines are cut by a transversal, the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal and inside the two lines are called the consecutive interior angles . In the above figure, the consecutive interior angles are: ∠ 3 and ∠ 6 ∠ 4 and ∠ 5 If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of consecutive interior angles formed are supplementary . When two lines are cut by a transversal, the pairs of angles on either side of the transversal and inside the two lines are called the alternate interior angles . In the above figure, the alternate interior angles are: ∠ 3 and ∠ 5 ∠ 4 and ∠ 6 If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles formed are congruent . When two lines are cut by a transversal, the pairs of angles on either side of the transversal and outside the two lines are called the alternate exterior angles . In the above figure, the alternate exterior angles are: ∠ 2 and ∠ 8 ∠ 1 and ∠ 7 If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles formed are congruent .
Example 1:
In the above diagram, the lines j and k are cut by the transversal l . The angles ∠ c and ∠ e are… A. Corresponding Angles B. Consecutive Interior Angles C. Alternate Interior Angles D. Alternate Exterior Angles The angles ∠ c and ∠ e lie on either side of the transversal l and inside the two lines j and k . Therefore, they are alternate interior angles. The correct choice is C .
Example 2:
In the above figure if lines A B ↔ and C D ↔ are parallel and m ∠ A X F = 140 ° then what is the measure of ∠ C Y E ? The angles ∠ A X F and ∠ C Y E lie on one side of the transversal E F ↔ and inside the two lines A B ↔ and C D ↔ . So, they are consecutive interior angles. Since the lines A B ↔ and C D ↔ are parallel, by the consecutive interior angles theorem , ∠ A X F and ∠ C Y E are supplementary. That is, m ∠ A X F + m ∠ C Y E = 180 ° . But, m ∠ A X F = 140 ° . Substitute and solve. 140 ° + m ∠ C Y E = 180 ° 140 ° + m ∠ C Y E − 140 ° = 180 ° − 140 ° m ∠ C Y E = 40 ° Open in App Suggest Corrections 4 |
