Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

In this section, we will consider parallel and perpendicular lines. Since parallel lines are always the same distance apart, the railroad tracks shown in figure (a) illustrate one application of parallel lines. Figure (b) shows one of the events of men’s gymnastics, the parallel bars. Since perpendicular lines meet and form right angles, the monument and the ground shown in figure (c) illustrate one application of perpendicular lines.

Objectives

1Identify and define parallel and perpendicular lines.

2Identify corresponding angles, interior angles, and alternate interior angles.

3Use properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal to find unknown angle measures.

The symbol indicates a right angle.

1 Identify and define parallel and perpendicular lines.

If two lines lie in the same plane, they are called coplanar. Two coplanar lines that do not intersect are called parallel lines. See figure (a) on the next page. If two lines do not lie in the same plane, they are called noncoplanar. Two noncoplanar lines that do not intersect are called skew lines.

Parallel Lines

Parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect.

Some lines that intersect are perpendicular. See figure (b) above.

Perpendicular Lines

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect and form right angles.

The Language of Mathematics If lines l1 (read as “l sub 1”) and l2

(read as “l sub 2”) are parallel, we can write l1 l2, where the symbol is read as “is parallel to.”

If lines l1 and l2 are perpendicular, we can write l1 l2, where the symbol is read as “is perpendicular to.”

Alternate Interior Angles

If two lines are cut by a transversal, then the nonadjacent angles on opposite sides of the transversal and on the interior of the two lines are called alternate interior angles.

Success Tip Alternate interior angles are easily spotted because they form a Z-shape or a backward Z-shape, as shown below.

EXAMPLE 1 Refer to the figure. Identify:

a.all pairs of corresponding angles

b.all interior angles

c.all pairs of alternate interior angles

Strategy When two lines are cut by a transversal, eight angles are formed. We will consider the relative position of the angles with respect to the two lines and the transversal.

Solution

a.To identify corresponding angles, we examine the angles to the right of the transversal and the angles to the left of the transversal. The pairs of corresponding angles in the figure are

1 and 5

4 and 8

2 and 6

3 and 7

b.To identify the interior angles, we determine the angles inside the two lines cut by the transversal. The interior angles in the figure are

3, 4, 5, and 6

c.Alternate interior angles are nonadjacent angles on opposite sides of the transversal inside the two lines. Thus, the pairs of alternate interior angles in the figure are

3 and 5

4 and 6

 

3Use properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal to find unknown angle measures.

Lines that are cut by a transversal may or may not be parallel. When a pair of parallel lines are cut by a transversal, we can make several important observations about the angles that are formed.

1.Corresponding angles property: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,

each pair of corresponding angles are congruent. In the figure below, if l1 l2, then 1 5, 3 7, 2 6, and 4 8.

2.Alternate interior angles property: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,

alternate interior angles are congruent. In the figure below, if l1 l2, then3 6 and 4 5.

3.Interior angles property: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, interior

angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary. In the figure below, if l1 l2, then 3 is supplementary to 5 and 4 is supplementary to 6.

Self Check 2

Refer to the figure for Example 2. If l1 l2 and m( 8) 50°, find the measures of the other seven angles that are labeled.

Now Try Problem 23

WHY The facts that we have studied about

vertical angles, supplementary angles, and alternate interior angles enable us to use known angle measures to find unknown angle measures.

Solution

m( 1) 60° 3 and 1 are supplementary: m( 3) m( 1) 180°. m( 2) 120° Vertical angles are congruent: m( 2) m( 3). m( 4) 60° Vertical angles are congruent: m( 4) m( 1).

m( 5) 60° If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent: m( 5) m( 4).

m( 6) 120° If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent: m( 6) m( 3).

m( 7) 120° Vertical angles are congruent: m( 7) m( 6). m( 8) 60° Vertical angles are congruent: m( 8) m( 5).

Some geometric figures contain two transversals.

Refer to the figure. If AB DE, which pairs of angles are congruent?

Strategy We will use the corresponding angles property twice to find two pairs of congruent angles.

Solution In the figure, two corresponding angles have degree measures that are represented by the algebraic expressions 9x 15° and 6x 30°. Since l1 l2, this pair of corresponding angles are congruent.

Chapter 9 An Introduction to Geometry

 

 

9x 15° 6x 30° Since the angles are congruent, their measures are equal.

 

3x 15° 30°

To eliminate 6x from the right side, subtract 6x from both

 

 

sides.

 

3x 45°

To isolate the variable term 3x, undo the subtraction of

 

 

15° by adding 15° to both sides: 30° 15° 45°.

 

x 15°

To isolate x, undo the multiplication by 3 by dividing both

 

 

sides by 3.

Thus, x is 15°.

Self Check 5

a.Find x.

b.Find the measures of both angles labeled in the figure.

Now Try Problem 29

EXAMPLE 5

In the figure, l1

l2.

 

a.Find x.

b.Find the measures of both angles labeled in the figure.

Strategy We will use the interior angles property to write an equation that mathematically models the situation.

WHY We can then solve the equation to find x.

Solution

l1

3x + 20° l2 3x 80°

a.Because the angles are interior angles on the same side of the transversal, they are supplementary.

3x 80° 3x 20° 180°

The sum of the measures of two supplementary

 

angles is 180°.

6x 60° 180°

Combine like terms: 3x 3x 6x.

6x 240°

To undo the subtraction of 60°, add 60° to both

 

sides: 180° 60° 240°.

x 40°

To isolate x, undo the multiplication by 6 by

 

dividing both sides by 6.

Thus, x is 40°.

This problem may be solved using a different approach. In the figure below, we see that 1 and the angle with measure 3x 80° are corresponding angles.

Because l1 and l2 are parallel, all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore,

m( 1) 3x 80°

1

l1

3x + 20° l2 3x 80°

In the figure, we also see that 1 and the angle with measure 3x 20° are supplementary. That means that the sum of their measures must be 180°. We have

m( 1)

3x 20°

180°

 

3x 80°

3x 20°

180°

Replace m( 1) with 3x 80°.

This is the same equation that we obtained in the previous solution. When it is solved, we find that x is 40°.

9.2 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

731

b.To find the measures of the angles in the figure, we evaluate the expressions 3x 20° and 3x 80° for x 40°.

3x 20° 3(40°) 20°

3x 80° 3(40°) 80°

120° 20°

120° 80°

140°

40°

The measures of the angles labeled in the figure are 140° and 40°.
