Parallel Lines
Parallel Lines
PARALLEL LINES
Are coplanar lines that are always the same distance apart (called
“equidistant”), and will never meet intersect, when extended infinitely
in both direction.
Parallel lines are marked with “feathers” (arrows) such as > or >>.
The notation to indicate parallel lines are two vertical bars ││.
Examples:
A B D
2 cm
2 cm A C
b
Notation: a ║ b ´ ║ CD
Notation: AB ´
PARALLEL RAYS
Two rays are parallel if the corresponding lines determined by them
are parallel. In other words, two rays in the same plane are parallel if
they do not intersect each other even if extended indefinitely beyond
their initial points.
Example:
M N
O P
Notation: ⃗
MN ║ ⃗
OP
PARALLEL SEGMENTS
Two segments are parallel if the corresponding lines determined by
them are parallel. In other word, two segments which are in the same
plane and do not intersect each other even if extended indefinitely in
both directions are said to be parallel.
Example:
R S
T U
Notation: RS ║ TU
PROPERTIES OF PARALLEL LINES
When two lines are cut by a transversal line, the properties below will
help us determine whether the lines are parallel.
2. Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel when the alternate
interior angles are equal.
Examples: ∠ 4=∠5 , ∠3=∠6
Alternate interior angles are a pair of angles found in the inner
side but are lying opposite each other.
3. Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel when the alternate
exterior angles are equal.
Examples: ∠ 1=∠8 , ∠2=∠7
Alternate exterior angles are a pair of angles found in the outer
side but are lying opposite each other.
4. Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel when the sum of the
consecutive interior angles is 180°.
Examples: ∠ 3+∠5=180° , ∠4 +∠ 6=180°
Consecutive interior angles are consecutive angles sharing the
same inner side along the line.
5. Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel when the sum of the
consecutive exterior angles is 180°.
Examples: ∠ 1+∠7=180° , ∠ 2+∠8=180°
PERPENDICULARITY
Example: B
D
Notation: AD ┴ CB
Example:
GI ≅ IH
To prove that two lines are perpendicular, you must show that one of the
following theorems is true.
1. If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then they form four right
angles. m
If m is perpendicular to
1 2 n, then ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, and
∠4 are right angles.
n 3 4
2. If the angles in a linear pair are congruent, then the lines containing
their sides are perpendicular.
If ∠1 and ∠2 form a
linear pair and ∠1≅∠2,
then m ┴ n.

ACTIVITY 5
You are working in a furniture shop as a designer. One day, your immediate
supervisor asked you to make a design of a wooden shoe rack for a new
client, who is a well-known artist in the film industry. In as much as you
don’t want to disappoint your boss, you immediately think and draw a
design for his approval.
1. Based on your design, how will you ensure that the compartments of
the shoe rack are parallel? Describe the different ways to ensure that
the compartments are parallel.
2. Why is there a need to ensure parallelism on the compartments? What
would happen if the compartments are not parallel?
3. How should the sides be positioned in relation to the base of the shoe
rack? Does positioning of the sides in relation to the base matter?
4. In what part of the shoe rack is the concept of perpendicularity
applies? How will you make sure that these parts are really
perpendicular?
