WORKSHEET No. 23
Date: November 30, 2022
Standard No.: 8.G.A.5 Module No.: 2 Lesson No. 12 Lesson: Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Focus Standard for MP. 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively
Mathematical Practice: MP. 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Focus Standard: Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles,
about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle
criterion for similarity of triangles.
Learning Objective: Mathematicians will define and identify parallel lines and transversal lines. They will also illustrate
specific real-life objects that have parallel lines.

TRUE or FALSE: For 16-20, look at the given figures and answer the following questions. Write TRUE if the statement is
correct; otherwise, write FALSE.

________ 16. In order to match the two figures, the first thing you
need to do is to translate △ABC.
________ 17. After you translate △ABC, you have to reflect it.
________ 18. △ABC is not congruent to △A’B’C’
________ 19. The value of A’B’ is 9.
________ 20. ∠C is congruent to ∠ C’

DEFINITION OF PARALLEL LINES: Parallel lines are straight lines that never meet each other no matter
how long we extend them. The symbol for parallel is ||. Look at the examples below.

We can say that L1 || L2 We can say that L1 || L2 We can say that L1 || L2

Task 1: Below are several lines. You are going to determine the pairs of parallel lines you can identify.

Identify all the pairs of parallel lines from the

given lines on the left. Write each pair here.

____________________ ____________________

Task 2: State whether the given pair of lines are parallel or not.

Task 3: Draw three (3) real-life object that have parallel lines which you see around you, in school, on the street, or at home.
OBJECT 1 OBJECT 2 OBJECT 3

DEFINITION OF TRANSVERSAL LINES: A transversal is any line that intersects two straight lines at distinct
points. When any two parallel lines are intersected by another line called a transversal, many pairs of
angles are formed. See example below:

The line m is called the

transversal line which
passes through the L1 and L2
.
