Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It will help you to
learn the properties of parallel lines. This guides you in discovering the postulates
and theorems of parallel lines. Moreover, it introduces the idea of angle pairs when
two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
1. identify the different angle pairs if parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
2. determine the properties of parallel lines when cut by a transversal,
3. find the measures of angles using the properties of parallel lines cut by a
transversal,
4. prove properties of parallel lines that are cut by a transversal, and
5. relate real-life problems involving parallel lines cut by a transversal.

11. Rona was asked by her teacher to find the value of 𝒚 given that 𝑚∠𝑎 = 6𝑦
and 𝑚∠𝑐 = 13𝑦 − 100 . She wrote her computation in this way:
(6𝑦) + ൫13𝑦 − 100 ൯ = 1800
19𝑦 − 100 + 100 = 1800 + 100
19𝑦 = 1900
𝑦 = 100

For items 12 – 13, please refer to the situation below and the figure at the right.
12. Which of the following shows the mathematical equation of the measures of
corresponding angles?
A. 12𝑥 + 30 = 11𝑥 + 90
B. 12𝑥 + 30 + 11𝑥 + 90 = 180
C. 12𝑥 + 30 + 18𝑥 − 3° = 180
D. 12𝑥 + 30 = 18𝑥 − 3°
13. A Grade 8 student wanted to find the value of 𝑥 in the situation. His
computation is as follows:
(12𝑥 + 3°) + (11𝑥 + 9°) = 180°
(12𝑥 + 11𝑥 ) + (3° + 9°) = 180°
23𝑥 + 12° − 12° = 180° − 12°
23𝑥 = 168°
𝑥 = 7.30°
Is his computation correct?

Proving Properties of Parallel
1 Lines Cut by a Transversal
When crossing the street, have you noticed the lines used on pedestrian lanes?
How about in designing vintas? Imagine that you are in the bustling city and you
have been standing in the middle of tall buildings and magnificent skyscrapers. Have
you ever wondered how the architects, engineers and carpenters made these
designs? How are parallel lines applied in these designs?
We know that parallel lines exist everywhere in our everyday lives like on the
edges of a piece of paper and in the way shelves of books are positioned in a library.
The concept of parallel lines is a key component of geometry that is applied in real
life in designs and structures.

Study the situation below and answer the questions that follow:
Mario is an owner of Molave Farm found in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur in
which one of his offered rides to the public is a zip line. A zip line is a very strong cable
between two points with a pulley attached to it. The zip line as illustrated in the figure
below goes from a 25-foot tall tower, represented by c to a 20-foot tower as d and it is
200 meters apart in a slightly inclined ground.

Questions:
1. If the two posts which are represented by lines 𝒄 and 𝒅, respectively, are
parallel, what do you call the strong cable which is represented by line 𝑨𝑴?
2. If lines 𝒄 and 𝒅 are extended to form other angles, name the following:
a. two pairs of alternate-interior angles;
b. two pairs of alternate-exterior angles;
c. four pairs of corresponding angles;
d. two pairs of same-side interior angles;
e. two pairs of same-side exterior angles; and
f. four pairs of vertical angles.
3. Do you think ∠𝐴 and ∠𝑞 are congruent angles?
4. What about ∠𝑀 and ∠𝑟, are they congruent?
5. What about ∠𝑥 and ∠𝑠, are they congruent?
6. Using the information in the figure above, find the measures of the following
angles:
a. ∠𝐴 c. ∠𝐹
b. ∠𝑀 d. ∠𝐸
(Hint: To get the measure of those angles, first, find the values of 𝒂 and 𝒃,
then use them in the equation).
7. If you add m∠𝐴 and m∠𝑀, what is their sum?
8. If you add m∠𝐹 and m∠𝐸, what is their sum?
What is It
The results of the activity above lead you to the following properties of parallel
lines cut by a transversal, as well as theorems and postulates on parallel lines.
A. Parallel Postulates: If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is
exactly one line through the point that is parallel to the given line.

Given a line 𝒎 and a point 𝑷 not in 𝒎, there is only one line (𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝒔) that is
parallel to line 𝒎 passing through point P. In symbol, 𝒔 ∥ 𝒎 (read as, line 𝒔 is
parallel to line 𝒎). Lines 𝒕 and 𝒒 are not parallel to line 𝒎 through 𝑷.
Also, two or more lines are parallel if you find the symbols like the ones
illustrated below.
Going back to the situation about the zip line, the two posts where the cable is
connected, represented by line 𝒄 and line 𝒅, are the two parallel lines (𝒄 ∥ 𝒅), and the
cable which is represented by line 𝑨𝑴 is called the transversal. The imaginary line
𝑭𝑬 that is drawn with the ground is also considered transversal line since it cuts the
two posts at distinct points.

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at two or more
distinct points.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then any pair of alternate interior
angles are congruent.
In the figure above, the pairs of alternate interior angles are ∠𝑨 & ∠𝒒
and ∠𝒚 & ∠𝑴. By the postulate, ∠𝑨 ≅ ∠𝒒 and ∠𝒚 ≅ ∠𝑴. Since they are
congruent, their measures are equal (𝒎∠𝑨 = 𝒎∠𝒒 and 𝒎∠𝒚 = 𝒎∠𝑴).
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then any pair of alternate exterior
angles are congruent.
In the same figure, the pairs of alternate exterior angles are ∠𝒛 & ∠𝒓 and
∠𝒙 & ∠𝒔. By the theorem, ∠𝒛 ≅ ∠𝒓 and ∠𝒙 ≅ ∠𝒔. Since they are congruent,
their measures are equal (𝑚∠𝒛 = 𝒎∠𝒓 and 𝑚∠𝒙 = 𝒎∠𝒔).
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are
congruent.
In the same figure, the four pairs of corresponding angles are ∠𝒛 & ∠𝑴,
∠𝑨 & ∠𝒔, ∠𝒙 & ∠𝒒, and ∠𝒚 & ∠𝒓. By the theorem, ∠𝒛 ≅ ∠𝑴, ∠𝑨 ≅ ∠𝒔, ∠𝒙 ≅ ∠𝒒,
and ∠𝒚 ≅ ∠𝒓. Since they are congruent, their measures are equal (𝑚∠𝒛 =
𝒎∠𝑴, 𝑚∠𝑨 = 𝒎 ∠𝑺, 𝒎∠𝒙 = 𝒎∠𝒒, and 𝑚∠𝒚 = 𝒎∠𝒓).
Definition: Vertical Angles – Two angles are vertical angles if and only if they
are nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.
11
CO_Q4_Mathematics 8_ Module 4
In the same figure, the four pairs of vertical angles are ∠𝒙 & ∠𝑨, ∠𝒛 & ∠𝒚,
∠𝒒 & ∠𝒔 , and ∠𝑴 & ∠𝒓 . By the theorem, ∠𝒙 ≅ ∠𝑨, ∠𝒛 ≅ ∠𝒚, ∠𝒒 ≅ ∠𝒔 , and
∠𝑴 ≅ ∠𝒓 . Since they are congruent, their measures are equal (𝑚∠𝒙 = 𝒎∠𝑨,
𝑚∠𝒛 = 𝒎 ∠𝒚, 𝒎∠𝒒 = 𝒎∠𝒔 , and 𝑚∠𝑴 = 𝒎∠𝒓 ).
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the interior angles on the same
side of the transversal are supplementary.
In the same figure, the pairs of interior angles on the same side of the
transversal are ∠𝑨 & ∠𝑴 and ∠𝒚 & ∠𝒒. Along the ground, the pair of interior
angles on the same side of the transversal is ∠𝑭 & ∠𝑬. By the theorem, these
pairs of angles are supplementary, hence, 𝑚∠𝑨 + 𝒎∠𝑴 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎°, and 𝑚∠𝒚 +
𝒎∠𝒒 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎°. Also, 𝑚∠𝑭 + 𝒎∠𝑬 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎°.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the exterior angles on the
same side of the transversal are supplementary.
In the same figure, the pairs of exterior angles on the same side of the
transversal are ∠𝒛 & ∠𝒔 and ∠𝒙 & ∠𝒓. By the theorem, these pairs of angles
are supplementary, hence, 𝒎∠𝒛 + 𝒎∠𝒔 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎°, and 𝒎∠𝒙 + 𝒎∠𝒓 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎°.
The table below sums up the properties, postulates and theorems of the
angles formed by parallel lines 𝒄 and 𝒅 cut by a transversal line 𝑨𝑴.

CO_Q4_Mathematics 8_ Module 4
Solutions:
1. To find the measure of ∠1, we must find first the value of 𝒙. We know that
∠1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠4 are corresponding angles, and corresponding angles are congruent,
hence, their measures are equal. From then, we can now formulate an
equation:
𝑥 − 460 + 460 = −240 + 460 Addition Property of Equality, add (46) to both
sides of the equation
𝑥 = 220 Simplifiy
So, 𝑥 = 220 .
3. 𝑚∠2 =?
Answer: 𝒎∠𝟐 = 𝟖𝟔° Reason: ∠𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ∠𝟒 are vertical angles,
and vertical angles are congruent
4. 𝑚∠3 =?
Answer: 𝒎∠𝟑 = 𝟖𝟔° Reason: ∠𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ∠𝟑 are corresponding
angles, and corresponding angles are
congruent, ∠𝟑 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ∠𝟒 are alternate-
interior angles and they are congruent,
and ∠𝟏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ∠𝟑 are vertical angles and
they are also congruent.
