Chapter 5: Parallel and Intersecting LinesClass 7 Mathematics — summary, notes, extra questions & MCQ quiz

A linear pair of angles adds up to:

Summary

This chapter studies the relationships between lines on a plane. When two lines cross they intersect at a point and form four angles: adjacent angles form a linear pair that adds to \(180^\circ\), and opposite angles are vertically opposite and are always equal. If all four angles are equal, each is \(90^\circ\) and the lines are perpendicular. Lines on the same plane that never meet, however far extended, are parallel. The key tool is the transversal — a line crossing two others, forming eight angles. When a transversal cuts a pair of parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal, alternate angles are equal, and co-interior (same-side interior) angles add to \(180^\circ\). Conversely, equality of corresponding angles is exactly what guarantees that two lines are parallel. You learn to spot, mark and reason about these angle relationships, to draw parallel lines using a ruler and set square or by paper folding, and to prove results rather than rely only on measurement.

Key terms

Intersecting lines
Two lines that meet at a single point on a plane.
Linear pair
Two adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines that add up to \(180^\circ\).
Vertically opposite angles
The pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines; they are always equal.
Perpendicular lines
Lines that intersect so that all four angles are \(90^\circ\).
Parallel lines
Lines on the same plane that never meet however far they are extended.
Transversal
A line that intersects two or more other lines, forming eight angles with a pair.
Corresponding angles
Angles in matching positions at the two intersections of a transversal; equal when the lines are parallel.
Alternate angles
Angles on opposite sides of the transversal between the lines; equal when the lines are parallel.
