Transversal

Definition:

A transversal is a line that intersects two


(or more) other lines at distinct points; all
of the lines lie in the same plane. In Figure
1.1, l is a transversal for lines m and n.
Angles that are formed between m and n
are interior angles; those outside m and n
Figure1.1 Transversal
are exterior angles.
In Figure 1.1, l is a transversal for
lines m and n. Angles that are formed between m and n are interior angles; those
outside m and n are exterior angles. Relative to Figure 1.1, we have:
Interior angles: 3,4, 5, 6
Exterior angles: 1, 2, 7,  8.
Let us look at the types of angle
formed in the figure 1.2 of two parallel
lines with a trasversal. Remember the
notation for parallel lines: m || n means
Figure 1.2 Parallel lines
that m is parallel to n.

1. Corresponding Angles
Definition : in figure of two parallel lines with a transversal, the angles in the
same position at each intersection are called corresponding angles.
In the figure 1.2  1 and  5 are corresponding angles. Also, the angle pairs
 2 and  6,  3 and  7 and  4 and  8 are corresponding angles.
Postulate: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding
angles are congruent.
Therefore, in the diagran of figure 1.2, m 1 = m 5,
m2 = m6,
m 3 = m 7
m4 = m8

2. Alternate Interior Angles


Definition : in figure of two
parallel lines with a transversal,
the interior angle between the
parallel lines on opposite sides
of the transversal are called
alternate interior angles.

document.3 alternate interior angles

In the figure 1.3, the angles


4 and  6 are alternate interior angle. Also,  3 and  5 are alternate
interior angle.
Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate
interior angles are Congruent.
Therefore, in the figure 1.3, m4 = m6, and m3 = m 5.
3. Alternate Exterior Angles
Definition : in figure of two parallel
lines with a transversal, the angle outside
the parallel lines on opposite sides of the
transversal called alternate exterior
angles.
In the figure 1.4 the angles  1
and 7 are alternate exterior angles.
Figure 1.4 alternate exterior angles
Also, 2 and 8 are alternate exterior
angles.
Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate
exterior angles are congruent.
Therefore, in figure 1.4: m1 = m7,
and m2 = m8
Example:
Given : ⃡𝑇𝑉 || ⃡𝑊𝑌 with transversal ⃡𝑅𝑆
mRUV = (x + 4)(x - 3)
mWXS = x2 - 3
Find: x

Solution: RUV and WXS are alternate exterior angles, so they are
congruent.
Then mRUV = mWXS. Therefore,
(x + 4)(x - 3) = x2 – 3
x2 + x - 12 = x2 – 3
x - 12 = -3
x=9
NOTE: Both angles measure 78° when x = 9.
4. Interior Angles On The Same Side Of a Transversal (Supplementary
Angles)
When two parallel lines are cut by
a transversal, it can be shown that the two
interior angles on the same side of the
transversal are supplementary. A similar
claim can be made for the pair of exterior
angles on the same side of the transversal.
Theorem : If two parallel lines are cut by a
transversal, then the interior angles on the
Figure1.5 supplementary angles same side of the transversal are
supplementary.
Therefore in the figure 1.5, mx + my = 180°
Exercise
1. Given : in figure, r || s and transversal l
m3 = 4x+y
m5 = 6x+5y
m6 = 5x-2y
find: x and y!
Solution:
3 and 6 are congruent alternate
interior angles; also, 3 and 5 are supplementary angles according to
Theorem These facts lead to the following system of equations:
4x + y = 5x - 2y
(4x + y) + (6x + 5y) = 180
These equations can be simplified to
x - 3y = 0
10x + 6y = 180
After we divide each term of the second equation by 2, the system
becomes:
x - 3y = 0
5x + 3y = 90
Addition leads to the equation , so . Substituting 15 for x into the equation
x-3y = 0, we have
15 – 3y = 0
-3y = -15
y=5
Our solution, x=15 and, y=5 yields the following angle measures:
m6 = 65°
m5 = 115°
m3 = 65°
NOTE: For an alternative solution, the equation x-3y = 0 could be
multiplied by 2 to obtain 2x-6y = 0. Then the equations 2x-6y = 0 and 10x
+ 6y = 180 could be added.
