Conditions of Perpendicularity
of Two Lines
Conditions of Perpendicularity
of Two Lines
1. If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then
they form four right angles.
If ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4 are
right angles, then x ⊥
y.
Conditions of Perpendicularity
of Two Lines
2. If the angles in a linear pair are
congruent, then the lines containing
their sides are perpendicular.
Conditions of Perpendicularity
of Two Lines
3. If the two angles are adjacent and
complementary, the non-common sides
are perpendicular.
The Perpendicular to a Third Line
Theorem
If two coplanar lines are perpendicular to
a third line, then they are parallel to each
other.
If l1 ⊥ t and l2 ⊥ t,
then l1 ll l2
Let’s try
this!
Example 1
Solution:
For the lines to be parallel, the given angles must be
supplementary.
𝑚 ∠ 3+𝑚 ∠ 5=180
10x = 180 - 20
10x = 160
Example 2
Lines p and q are cut by transversal r. Find the
value of x that makes p || q.
a. ∠1 and ∠5 are alternate interior angles, m∠1 =
5x – 11 and m∠5 = 3x + 7
Solution: a. For the lines to be parallel, the given angles must
be congruent.
𝑚 ∠ 1=𝑚 ∠ 5
Example 2
Lines p and q are cut by transversal r. Find
the value of x that makes p || q.
b. ∠4 and ∠7 are same side interior
angles, m∠4 = 6x + 3 and m∠7 = 4x + 7
Solution:
b. For the lines to be parallel, the given angles must
be supplementary
SSIAS Theorem
Apply APE.
Apply MPE.
Solve for x
Example 3
Find the value of x for which
r ⊥ t. If m∠2 = 5x + 15
Solution:
For the lines to be perpendicular, the given angle
must be right angle.
Activity
A. Find the value of x for which r is ll s.
2. m∠2 = 5x –
24 , m∠7 = 3x + 4. m∠3 = 3x – 34 ,
16 m∠5 = x + 22
