Angles Formed by a Transversal
Transversal – a line that intersects two or more
coplanar lines at different points
 In the figure, the transversal t intersects the
lines L and M

EXAMPLE
Classify the pair of numbered angles.
These definitions depend on what line is
the transversal.


Before you define the angle terms, you need to think
about which line is the transversal!
Even within the same diagram, the transversal can
change. This will often lead to “ignoring” other parts of
the diagram (as we’ll see next…)

How is 9 related to the other angles?
9 and 10 are a linear pair. So are 9 and 12
9 and 11 are vertical angles
9 and 7 are alternate exterior angles. So are 9 and 3
9 and 5 are corresponding
angles. So are 9 and 1

PARALLEL LINES AND
CONGRUENT ANGLES
While these definitions apply whenever two lines
are cut by a transversal, we will normally talk
about this for parallel lines
1. What is the Parallel Postulate and how can I
use it?
2.
What are the pairs of congruent angles formed
by parallel lines cut by a transversal?
3.
Lets reexamine the angle definitions for
parallel lines
PARALLEL LINES
Two coplaner lines that do not intersect
The book notes them with “matching
arrows” see page 117
TRANSVERSAL (Parallel)
A line that intersects two coplanar lines in two
distinct points.
YOU SEE THIS OCCURRENCE EVERYWHERE!
SPECIAL ANGLES (parallel)

Interior Angles – lie between

the two lines (3, 4, 5, and

6)

Alternate Interior Angles – are
on opposite sides of the
transversal. (3 & 6 AND 4
and 5)
Same-Side Interior Angles – are on the same
side of the transversal. (3 & 5 AND 4 & 6)

Exterior Angles – lie
outside the two lines (1, 2,
7, and 8)

7
Alternate Exterior Angles – are on
opposite sides of the transversal (1& 8
AND 2 & 7)
Corresponding Angles – same location,
different intersections (2 & 6, 4 & 8, 1 &
5, 3 & 7)
PARALLEL LINES AND A TRANSVERSAL
1. On your paper, construct two parallel lines, then
construct an “angled” transversal.
2. Label each angle made ( 1 - 8)
3. Based on appearance, make a conjecture as to
which angles are congruent, supplementary, or
complementary to each other.
4. Using the protractor, measure and label each
angle.
5. Make 4 conjectures about the angle pairs:
( alternate int, consecutive ext, corresponding…)
IF 2 PARALLEL LINES ARE CUT BY A
TRANSVERSAL, THEN ANY PAIR OF THE ANGLES
FORMED ARE EITHER CONGRUENT OR
SUPPLEMENTARY.
Vertical Angles & Linear Pair
Vertical Angles:
Linear Pair:
Two angles that are opposite angles. Vertical
angles are congruent.

IF TWO LINES ARE PARALLEL:
1. A pair of corresponding s are .
2. A pair of alternate interior s are .
3. A pair of alternate exterior s are .
4. A pair of consecutive interior s are
supplementary.
5. A pair of consecutive exterior s are
supplementary.
Corresponding Angles & Consecutive 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.

INVESTIGATING POSTULATES
1. Construct a line named AB.
2. Somewhere above or below the line, put a pt P.
3. Construct 2 lines that go through pt P that are
also || to AB
Parallel Postulates
THROUGH A POINT NOT ON A LINE THERE IS
EXACTLY ONE PARALLEL TO THE GIVEN LINE.
INVESTIGATING POSTULATES
1. Construct 2 parallel lines AB and CD.
2. Construct LP so that it is  to AB and also
passes through CD.
3. Measure the angles of the intersection on LP and
CD.
4. What can you conclude?
IN A PLANE, IF A LINE IS PERPENDICULAR TO 1
OF 2 PARALLEL LINES, THEN IT IS
PERPENDICULAR TO THE OTHER.
INVESTIGATING POSTULATES
1. Construct 2 parallel lines AB and CD.
2. Construct FG so that it is || to CD
3. What can you conclude about AB and FG?
4. This is an example of what property?!
IF 2 LINES ARE PARALLEL TO A 3RD LINE, THEN
THEY ARE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER.
