Explore The Angles Formed By Parallel Lines And A Transversal Using A Protractor

Work in pairs.

Step 1.
On a piece of paper, draw a pair of parallel lines, \(\overleftrightarrow{A B}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{C D}\), as shown. Draw a transversal \(\overleftrightarrow{P Q}\) that intersects the pair of parallel lines. Use a protractor to measure the angles in the diagram.

What do you notice about the measures of these angle pairs: Alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and corresponding angles? Make a conjecture about the angle measures for each pair.

Math Journal
Compare the conjecture that you have made for corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles with the conjectures made by other students. What do you observe?

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,

  • the alternate interior angles are always congruent (alt. int. ∠s, || lines).
  • the alternate exterior angles are always congruent (alt. ext. ∠s, || lines).
  • the corresponding angles are always congruent (corr. ∠s, || lines).

x + 28 – x = 3x + 14 – x Subtract x from both sides:
28 = 2x + 14 simplify
28 — 14 = 2x + 14 — 14 Subtract 14 from both sides:
2x = 14 Simplify:
\(\frac{2 x}{2}\) = \(\frac{14}{2}\) Divide by 2:
x = 7 Simplify:
m∠1 = m∠2 = (7 + 28)° = 35° Determine m∠1, m∠2:
x + 28 = 3x + 14
m∠1 = 35° ;m∠2 = 35°

In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, is it also perpendicular to the other? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
\(\overline{A B}\) || \(\overline{C D}\) We are given:
\(\overline{E F}\) ⊥ \(\overline{A B}\)
m∠EMB = 90°: \(\overline{E F}\) ⊥ \(\overline{A B}\)
m∠MND = m∠EMB As \(\overline{A B}\) || \(\overline{C D}\), a pair of corresponding angles is:
m∠MND = 90° Substitute:
\(\overline{E F}\) ⊥ \(\overline{C D}\) m∠MND = 90°
yes

Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 6.3 Answer Key Angles that Share a Vertex 30
a) Name two pairs of corresponding angles.
Answer:
∠1 and ∠3 a) As \(\overline{A B}\) || \(\overline{P Q}\), pairs of corresponding angles are (transversal \(\overline{A B}\)):
∠2 and ∠4
∠5 and ∠7

b) Name all the angles that have the same measure as ∠1.
Answer:
m∠5 = m∠1 b) vertical ∠s:
m∠3 = m∠1 corresponding ∠s:
m∠8 = m∠3 = m∠1
m∠7 = m∠5 = m∠1
a) ∠1 and ∠3
∠2 and ∠4
∠5 and ∠7
b) ∠1, ∠3, ∠5, ∠7 = ∠8

Question 37.
The two mirrors used in a periscope are parallel to each other as shown. m∠1 = 3x°, m∠2 = (60 – x)°, and m∠3 = 90°. Write and solve an equation to find the value of x. Then find the measure of ∠4.
Math in Focus Grade 7 Chapter 6 Lesson 6.3 Answer Key Angles that Share a Vertex 31
Answer:
m∠1 = 3x° We are given:
m∠2 = (60 – x)°
m∠3 = 90°
m∠1 = m∠2 Alternate interior ∠s
3x° = (60 – x)°
3x = 60 — x Substitute:
3x + x = 60 – x + x Add x to both sides:
4x = 60 Simplify:
\(\frac{4 x}{4}\) = \(\frac{60}{4}\) Divide by 4:
x = 15 Simplify:
m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° Straight ∠:
Substitute:
(60 – x)° + 90° + m∠4 = 180°
(60 – 15)° + 90° + m∠4 = 180°
45° + 90° + m∠4 = 180°
135° + m∠4 = 180° Simplify:
135° + m∠4 – 135° = 180° — 135° Subtract 135° from both sides:
m∠4 = 45° Simplify:
x = 15
m∠4 = 45°
