Parallel Lines and Transversals
What would you call two lines which do not intersect?
Parallel
A solid arrow placed
on two lines of a
diagram indicate the
lines are parallel.
The symbol || is used to
indicate parallel lines.

Transversal -
When two parallel lines are cut by another line
this is called a transversal.

j Parallel lines t and s
are intersected by
line j, k and m.
Therefore, line j, k
and m are a
transversal of lines
t and s.

Vertical angles are:
When two lines intersect they
form two pairs of “opposite”
angles called vertical
angles.
< 1 and < 3
< 2 and < 4
Vertical angles are
congruent.
Congruent means
angles with the
same measurement.

Identifying Angles -
If the sum of the measures
of two angles is 90° the
angles are
complementary.
Angles a and b are
complementary.
If the sum of the
measures of two
angles is 180°, they
are
supplementary.
Angles a and b are
