Parallel Lines

Practice set 2.1

Q. 1. In figure 2.5, line RP||line MS and line DK is their transversal. ∠DHP = 85°

Find the measures of following angles.

i. ∠RHD ii. ∠PHG


Iii ∠HGS iv. ∠MGK

Answer : Given: RP ∥ line MS and line DK is their transversal.

(i) ∠ DHP + ∠ RHD = 180° (linear pair angle) means that linear pair is a pair of adjacent,
supplementary angle. Adjacent means next to each other, and supplementary means
that measures of the two angles add up to equal 180 °.

∠ DHP + ∠ RHD = 180°

85° + ∠ RHD = 180° (∠ DHP = 85° given)

∠ RHD = 180° -85°

∠ RHD = 95°

(ii) ∠ RHD ≅ ∠ PHG (vertically opposite angles formed are congruent)

So, ∠ PHG = 95°

(iii) line RP || line MS (given)


∠ DHP ≅ ∠ HGS (corresponding angles) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal,
then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent.

∠ DHP = 85° (given)

So, ∠ HGS = 85°

(iv) ∠ HGS ≅ ∠ MKG (vertically opposite angles formed are congruent)

So, ∠ MKG = 85°

Q. 2. In figure 2.6, line p|| line q and line 1 and line m are transversals. Measures
of some angles are shown. Hence find the measures of ∠ a, ∠ b, ∠ c∠ d.

Answer : Given line P ∥ line Q and line L and M are transversal.


To find: ∠ a, ∠ b, ∠ c∠ d.
Construction: extend G and E in answer diagram.
∠ a + ∠ e = 180° (linear pair angle) means that linear pair is a pair of adjacent,
supplementary angle.
Adjacent means next to each other, and supplementary means that measures of the
two angles add up to equal 180°.
∠ a + 110° = 180° (given)
∠ a = 180° -110°
∠ a = 70°
∠ a ≅ ∠ g (vertically opposite angles formed are congruent
∠ a = 70° (prove above)
∠ 70° ≅ ∠ g
Line P || line Q and line L transversals (given)
∠ g = ∠ b (corresponding angles)
∠ b = 70°
Line P || line Q and line M is transversal (given)
∠ c ≅ ∠ f (corresponding angles) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the
pairs of corresponding angle are congruent.
So, ∠ f = 115° (given)
Then, ∠ c = 115°
f = 180° (linear pair angle)
∠ d + 115° = 180° (given)
∠ d = 180° -115°
∠ d = 65°

Q. 3. In figure 2.7 line /|| line m and line n|| line p. Find ∠ a, ∠ b, ∠ c from the given
measure of an angle.
Answer : Given line L || line M and line P is transversal.

To find: ∠ a, ∠ b, ∠ c

Construction: extend E and D in answer diagram

∠ e ≅ ∠ d (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal,


then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent.

∴ ∠ d = 45° (given above diagram)

∠ a + ∠ d = 180° (linear pair angle)

∠ a + 45° = 180°

∠ a = 180° -45°

∠ a = 135°

∠ a ≅ ∠ b (vertically opposite angles formed are congruent)


∴ ∠ b = 135°

Line N || line P and line M is transversal (given)

z ∠ b≅ ∠ c (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal,


then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent.

∴ ∠ c = 135°.

Q. 4. In figure 2.8, sides of ∠ PQR and ∠XYZ are parallel to each other. prove
that,∠ PQR ≅ ∠ XYZ

Answer : Given ∠ PQR AND ∠XYZ are parallel and also YZ and QR are parallel

TO find: ∠ PQR ≅ ∠ XYZ

Construction: extend sag XY such that Q-S-R.

PQ|| XY (given)

PQ || XS and QR is transversals (from construction)


∠ PQR ≅ ∠ XSR (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a
transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent) ……………………….
(1)

YZ||SK and XS is transversals (given)

∠ XYZ ≅ ∠ XSR (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a
transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent.)
…………………………(2)

Equation (1) and (2) right side is equal

So that, ∠ PQR≅ ∠ XYZ hence proved.

Q. 5. In figure 2.9, line AB || line CD and line PQ is transversal. Measure of one of


the angles is given.

Hence find the measures of the following angles.


i. ∠ ART ii. ∠ CTQ
iii. ∠ DTQ iv. ∠ PRB

Answer : Given AB ||line CD and line PQ sis transversal .and∠ PRB 105°and ∠ BRT
105°

To find: ∠ ART, ∠ CTQ, ∠ DTQ, ∠ PRB

∠ ART + ∠ BRT = 180° ° (linear pair angle) means that linear pair is a pair of adjacent,
supplementary angle.

Adjacent means next to each other, and supplementary means that measures of the
two angles add up to equal 180 °.)

∠ ART + 105° = 180 (∠ BRT = 105 ° given)
