Proving Properties of Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
The goal of this unit is for students to understand the angle theorems related to parallel
lines. This is important not only for the mathematics course, but also in connection to the real
world as parallel lines are used in designing buildings, airport runways, roads, railroad tracks,
bridges, and so much more. Students will work independently to apply the angle theorems to
prove lines that are parallel, to practice geometric proof, and discover the connections to other
topics including relationships with triangles and geometric constructions. It also communicates
mathematical thinking with coherence and clarity in formulating, investigating, analyzing, and
solving real-life problems involving triangle inequalities, and parallelism and perpendicularity of
lines using appropriate and accurate representations.
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer and write your answers on a separate sheet of
paper.
1. Two lines are parallel if they are coplanar and they do not __________.
a. aligned b. Intersect c. parallel d. perpendicular
2. These are pairs of non-adjacent interior angles on the opposite side of a transversal.
a. Alternate exterior angle c. corresponding angles
b. alternate interior angle d. Vertical angles

Directions: Study the road map carefully and try to answer the guide questions below.
ROAD MAP
Guide questions.
1. Which roads intersect?
2. Which roads are parallel?
3. Which roads are perpendicular?
Task 1- The two friends Allen and Alex talk about the map below. Read carefully their
conversations if you will also agree with their statements.
Alex: Allen, P.J. Burgos street is parallel to Jose L. Briones street, so the angles
formed by O shop and A store are supplementary. What can say with the
angles formed by A store and V shop Allen?
Allen: Angles formed by A store and V shop are congruent and so with the angles

Proving Properties of Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
formed by A store and P store. The angles formed by B shop and C shop are
also congruent. Alex, what can you say about the angles formed by D store and
W store?
Alex: The two angles formed by D store and W store are supplementary.
Guide questions:
1. Is the statement of Allen with the angles formed by O shop and A store correct?
2. How about the statement of Alex with the angles formed by A store and V
shop?
3. Will you agree to the statement of Alex regarding the angles formed by A store
and P store?
4. How about the statement of Alex with the angles formed by B shop and C
shop?
5. Is the statement of Allen about angles formed by D store and W store correct?
1. Given: b∥t
Prove: ∠V ≅ ∠𝑁
2. Given: 1 ∥ 2

Parallelism: Two lines are parallel if they are coplanar and they do not intersect.
Transversal line: It is a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines, which are not
necessarily parallel at two distinct points.
Task 1
Question 1: Is the statement of Allen with the angles formed by O shop and A
store correct?
Answer: Yes, because the two angles formed by O shop and A store are Same-side
Interior Angles. Same-side Interior Angles Theorem states that, If two
parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of same-side interior
Grade 8 Mathematics 6
Proving Properties of Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Same-side Exterior Angles Theorem - If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
then the pairs of same-side exterior angles
are supplementary
Question 2: How about the statement of Alex with the angles formed by A store
and V shop?
Answer: No, because the two angles formed by O shop and A store are Linear Pair.
According to the Linear Pair Postulate, two angles that form a linear
pair are supplementary. A linear pair is a set of adjacent angles that form a
straight line. When added together, these angles equal 180 degrees.
Therefore, they are not congruent.
From the figure at the left. The
supplementary angles are:
∠1 and ∠2 ∠1 and ∠3
∠2 and ∠4 ∠3 and ∠4
∠5 and ∠6 ∠5 and ∠8
∠6 and ∠7 ∠7 and ∠8
Question 3: Will you agree to the statement of Alex regarding the angles formed
by A store and P store?
Answer: Yes, because the two angles formed by A store and P store are Alternate
Interior Angles. According to the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, if two
parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior
angles are congruent.
Question 4: How about the statement of Alex with the angles formed by B
