Parallel Lines

&
Transversals
What would you call two lines which do
not intersect?

Parallel Lines
A B

C D

The symbol || is used to indicate parallel lines.

AB || CD
A slash through the parallel symbol || indicates
the lines are not parallel.

C D

AB || CD
 Transversal
A line, ray, or segment that intersects 2 or more
COPLANAR lines, rays, or segments.

Angles formed by parallel lines and transversal

8 no. of Angles are formed

Three types of Angles formed by parallel lines
and transversal

1.Corresponding angles
2.Alternate angles
3.Interior angles
 Pairs of angles formed out of these angles

1.Corresponding angles
<d, <h
<a, <e
<c, <g
<b, <f

When one pairs of corresponding angle

is congruent, then all the pairs of
corresponding angles are congruent.

If <d <h
Then <a <e
<c <g
<b <f
 Pairs of angles formed out of these angles

2. Alternate angles
<c, <e
<b, <h
<a, <g
<d, <f

When one pairs of alternate angle is

congruent, then all the pairs of
alternate angles are congruent.

If <b <h
Then <c <e
<a <g
<d <f
 Pairs of angles formed out of these angles

3. Interior Angles

<c, <h
<e, <b

When one pairs of interior angle is

supplementary, then all the pairs of
interior angles are supplementary.

If <c + <h = 180O

Then <e + <b = 180O
 Theorem on interior angle

If two parallel lines intersected by a transversal, the

interior angles on either side of the transversal are
supplementary.

Given: line m II line n.

l is transversal.

To prove: <a + <c = 180O

& <b + <d = 180O
 Theorem on corresponding angle

The corresponding angle formed by a transversal of

two parallel lines are of equal measure

Given: line m II line n.

l is transversal.

To prove: <a = <b

 Theorem on alternate angle

The alternate angle formed by a transversal of two

parallel lines are of equal measure

Given: line m II line n.

l is transversal.

To prove: <a = <b
