Parallel, Perpendicular, and Intersecting Lines
Kinds of Lines Horizontal Lines – Lines mapped from left-to-right or right-to-left and which are parallel to the \(x\)-axis in a plane are known as horizontal lines. Vertical Lines – Lines mapped from up to down or down to up and are parallel to the \(y\)-axis in a plane are known as vertical lines. Intersecting Lines – Whenever […]
How to Solve Parallel Lines and Transversals Problems? (+FREE Worksheet!)
Parallel Lines and Transversals – Example 2: Solution: The two angles \(75^\circ\) and \(11x-2\) are equal. \(11x-2=75\)Now, solve for \(x: 11x-2+2=75+2→ 11x=77→x=\frac{77}{11}→x=7\) Parallel Lines and Transversals – Example 3: In the following diagram, two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. What is the value of \(x\)? Solution: The two angles \(7x-35\) and \(3x+45\) are […]
