By Muralle Do you Know? This chapter continues from Form 1, Chapter 9. Will be tested only in Paper 1. Tested 2004 2008 except year 2007. The main concepts in Form 3 are parallel lines, transversals, corresponding angles, alternate angles and interior angles. Properties of angles associated with transversals and parallel lines 1. Transversal a line that intersect two or more parallel lines transversal A
AB is a transversal
B Corresponding angles - If a corresponding angle slid up (or down) at the same side of the transversal, then would find other corresponding angle. P a c e Corresponding angles = search for letter g
a = e c = g
When an F drawn on the diagram, the corresponding angles can be found in the "corners" of the F. The F may be backward and/or upside-down. A a d e h B D g f c b
A a d e h B g f c b
a c d
a = d b = c
a d
b c
Example 2 Find the value of y A J C Solution AEC + 107o = 180o AEC = 180o - 107o AEC = 73o y = AEC (alternate angle) y = 71o 3. Interior angles - The sum of interior angles is 180 O 107o E y H F B G

Example 3 Find the value of z z 59o Solution z + 59o = 180o (sum of interior angles) z = 180o - 59o z = 121o Identifying parallel lines - Properties of the angles, produced by two straight lines cut by a transversal, can used to identify whether the lines are parallel or not.
102o E
58o F
S b)
X 49o D
141o A T
C Y
Solution a)
SEB + 102o = 180o SEB = 180o - 102o SEB = 58o Given AFY = 58o SEB = AFY (alternate angle)
Therefore, line ST is parallel to XY b) = 180o ADX + 49o ADX = 180o - 49o ADX = 131o
Given ACS = 141o ADX ACS (corresponding angle must be equal) Therefore, line ST is not parallel to XY To master this chapter Do a lot of exercises. Understand the concept of lines, parallel lines and transversal. Test yourself
