    Lines and Angles

    Uploaded by

    muralle
    Lines and Angles discusses properties of angles formed by parallel and intersecting lines. There are three key properties: 1) Corresponding angles are equal, 2) Alternate interior angles are equal, 3) The sum of interior angles is 180 degrees. These properties can be used to determine if two lines are parallel by comparing angles. Worked examples demonstrate using the properties to find unknown angle measures and identify parallel lines.

    Lines and Angles

    By Muralle

    Properties of angles associated with transversals and parallel lines


    1. Transversal – a line that intersect two or more parallel lines
    transversal A

    B
    AB is a transversal

    2. Corresponding angles
    - If a corresponding angle slid up (or down) at the same side of the
    transversal, then would find other corresponding angle.

    P
    a
    c

    e
    g
    Q
    a= e
    c= g

    - When an F drawn on the diagram, the corresponding angles can be


    found in the "corners" of the “F”.  The F may be backward and/or
    upside-down.
    A

    a b
    d c

    e f
    h g
    B

    D
    A

    a b
    d c

    e f
    h g
    B

    Example 1
    In the diagram below find the value of y
    F
    y
    A B
    E
    808o
    87
    D 0 G
    80
    C

    Solution
     FEB =  FDG (corresponding angle)
    = 87o
    y +  FEB = 180o
    y + 87o = 180o
    y = 180o - 87o
    y = 93o

    3. Alternate angles
    - Alternate angles are equal

    a b

    c d

    a= d
    b= c
    - Alternate angles can be identified by the shape of the capital letter ‘Z’.

    Example 2
    Find the value of x
    F
    o
    109
    A B
    E
    x
    J G
    H
    C
    Solution
     AEC + 109o = 180o
     AEC = 180o - 109o
     AEC = 71o

    x =  AEC (alternate angle)


    x = 71o

    4. Interior angles
    - The sum of interior angles is 180 O

    a d
    b c
     d +  c = 180 O
    - Interior angles can be identified by the shape of capital letter ‘U’

    a
    b

    d
    c

    - Interior angles are supplementary angles

    Example 3
    Find the value of z
    z

    69o

    Solution
    z + 69o = 180o (sum of interior angles)
    z = 180o - 69o
    z = 111o

    Identifying parallel lines


    - Properties of the angles, produced by two straight lines cut by a
    transversal, can used to identify whether the lines are parallel or not.
    Example 4
    1. If AB is a straight line, determine whether line ST is parallel to XY
    a) S X

    102o
    A B
    E 58o F

    S Y

    S X
    B
    b) 49o

    141o C

    A
    T Y

    Solution
    a)
     SEB + 102o = 180o
     SEB = 180o - 102o
     SEB = 58o
    Given  AFY = 58o
     SEB =  AFY (alternate angle)

    Therefore, line ST is parallel to XY

    b)
     ADX + 49o = 180o
     ADX = 180o - 49o
     ADX = 131o
    Given  ACS = 141o
     ADX   ACS (corresponding angle must be equal)

    Therefore, line ST is not parallel to XY
