IV. PRELIMINARIES:
. Identify the given pair of lines as either parallel, perpendicular or intersecting lines.
Two parallel lines when cut by a transversal form eight angles. This activity will lead you to
investigate the relationship between and among angles formed.
Measure the eight angles using your protractor and list all inferences or observations in the
activity.

2. A line that intersects two or more lines at different points is called a transversal.
a. The angles formed by the transversal with the two other lines are called:
b. The pairs of angles formed by the transversal with the other two lines are called:
• corresponding angles ( ∠1 and ∠5, ∠2 and ∠6, ∠3 and ∠7, ∠4 and ∠8)
• interior angles on the same side of the transversal ( ∠3 and ∠5, ∠4 and ∠6)
• exterior angles on the same side of the transversal ( ∠1 and ∠7, ∠2 and ∠8)
3. If two lines are cut by a transversal, then the two lines are p arallel if:
Study the problem situation below and answer the succeeding questions:
A zip line is a rope or a cable that you can ride down on a pulley. The pair of
zip lines below goes from a 20- foot tall tower to a 15- foot tower 150 meters away
in a slightly inclined ground as shown in the sketch. (Note: Tension of the rope is
excluded.)

2. Using the given information stated in the figure, what are the measures of the
four angles?
4. Is the zip line parallel to the ground? Why do you say so?
VI. ANALYSIS:
VI. ABSTRACTION:
If two lines are cut by a transversal, then the two lines are parallel if:
a. corresponding angles are congruent.
b. alternate-interior angles are congruent.
c. alternate-exterior angles are congruent.
d. interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.
e. exterior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary
