Introduction of the Topic
Have you ever wondered how carpenters, architects and engineers design their work? What factors are being considered in making their design? The use of parallelism and perpendicularity of lines in real life necessitates the establishment of these concepts.
This module seeks to answer the question: “How can we establish parallelism or perpendicularity of lines?”
Lesson 1: Parallelism
Two lines are parallel if and only if they lie in the same plane and do not intersect. Parallel lines never cross
.
Parallel lines are marked with "feathers" (arrows) such as > or >>.
The notation to indicate parallel lines are two vertical bars ∥.
Line m being parallel to line n is written m ∥ n.
Parallel lines are always the same distance apart, which is referred to as being "equidistant".
For our purposes, parallel lines will always be straight lines that go on indefinitely.
The parallel lines may be horizontal, vertical or slanted.
When lines intersect, a series of angles are formed. Certain angles are given specific "names" based upon their locations in relation to the lines. These specific names may be used whether the lines involved are parallel or not parallel.
To prove that the two lines or segments are parallel, you must show that one of the following is true.
Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate
- If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of corresponding angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel.
Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

Example 1. Apply the Converse
Find the value of x so that 𝑐 ∥ 𝑠.
Solution:
(7𝑥 − 24)° and (6𝑥 − 5)° are measures of two alternate exterior angles. If they are equal it follows that the alternate exterior
angles are congruent and 𝑐 ∥ 𝑠.
(7𝑥 − 24)° = (6𝑥 − 5)°
7𝑥 − 24 = 6𝑥 − 5 7𝑥 − 6x = 24 − 5 𝑥 = 19
Answer: If 𝑥 = 19, then 𝑐 ∥ 𝑠.

Lesson 1: Perpendicularity
Two lines are perpendicular if and only if they form a right angle.
Perpendicular lines always form a right angle of 90º. While perpendicular lines may appear in a slanted or a horizontal position on paper, the lines must always intersect to form a right angle.
(slanted positions) (horizontal/vertical positions)
Perpendicular lines are marked with a "square" (a box) drawn at the point of intersection.
The notation to indicate perpendicular lines is ⊥. Line m being perpendicular n is written m ⊥ n.
Segments and rays can also be perpendicular. A perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line or a ray or another segment that is perpendicular to the segment and intersects the segment at its midpoint. The distance between two parallel lines is the perpendicular distance between one of the lines and any point on the other line.
To prove that two lines are perpendicular, you must show that one of the following is true:
1. If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then they form four right angles.
If 𝑚 ⊥ 𝑛, then ∠1, ∠2, ∠3 and ∠4 are right angles.
2. If the angles in a linear pair are congruent, then the lines containing their sides are perpendicular.
If ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair and ∠1 ≅ ∠2,
then 𝑙1⊥ 𝑙2.
3. If two angles are adjacent and complementary, the non-common sides are perpendicular.
If ∠𝐶𝐴𝑅 and ∠𝐸𝐴𝑅 are complementary and adjacent, then 𝐴𝐶̅̅̅̅ ⊥ 𝐴𝐸̅̅̅̅.
Example 1. Find the value of x given that 𝒍 ⊥ 𝒂 Solution:
The two angles are congruent and form a linear pair.
(7𝑥 − 1)° + (5𝑥 + 25)° = 180°
7𝑥 + 5𝑥 = 180 + 1 − 25 12𝑥 = 156
𝑥 = 13 Answer: If 𝑥 = 13, then 𝑙 ⊥ 𝑎.
Example 2. Proving Segments are Perpendicular Write a two-column proof that shows 𝐴𝑁̅̅̅̅ ⊥ 𝐼𝑇̅̅̅.
Given: 𝐴𝐼̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐴𝑇̅̅̅̅
∠𝑁𝐴𝐼 ≅ ∠𝑁𝐴𝑇 Prove: 𝐴𝑁̅̅̅̅ ⊥ 𝐼𝑇̅̅̅

3. ∆𝐴𝑁𝐼 ≅ ∆𝐴𝑁𝑇 SAS Congruence Postulate
4. ∠𝐴𝑁𝐼 ≅ ∠𝐴𝑁𝑇 CPCTC
5. 𝐴𝑁̅̅̅̅ ⊥ 𝐼𝑇̅̅̅ If the angles in a linear pair are congruent, then the lines containing their sides are perpendicular.
