Solved Problems on Parallel lines
In this section, we will discuss some solved problems on parallel lines.
Examples :
1) In the given figure line l is parallel to line m. ∠ c = 110
0. Find the measures of remaining angles.
Solution :
∠ c = 110
0
∠ c = ∠ g ( Corresponding angles)
∴ ∠g = 110
0
∠ c = ∠ e ( Alternate interior angles)
∠ e = 110
0
∠ e = ∠ a (Corresponding angles)
∠ a = 110
0
∠ a and ∠ b form a linear pair angles. And linear pair angles are supplementary .( two angles add up to 180)
∴ ∠ a + ∠ b = 180
110 + ∠ b = 180
∠ b = 180 -110
∠ b = 70
0
∠ b = ∠ f (Corresponding angles)
∠ f = 70
0
∠ f = ∠ d ( Alternate interior angles)
∠ d = 70
∠ d = ∠ h ( Corresponding angles)
∴ ∠ h = 70
2) State which of the lines are parallel and why?
a)
Solution :
AC || DE ( As alternate interior angles are equal)
b)
Solution:AC is not parallel to DE ( As corresponding angles are not equal).

Practice
1) Define Adjacent angles.
2) Two acute angles form linear pair angles.(True/False)
3)Which shape relevant to alternate interior angles. a)
F b)
Z
4) If the corresponding angles are equal then what can you say about the lines.
5) If ∠A = 2x and ∠B=3x and the two angles are interior angles on the same side of the transversal then find the value of x and measures of each angle.
