Introduction to Lines and Angles

We see lines and angles all around us in different objects. In our daily life, we come across different types of angles formed between the edges of different surfaces.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6An architect applies the knowledge of lines and angles for drawing a plan of a multi-storied building.
In science, lines are extensively used to represent the properties of light using the ray
diagrams. We can easily find the height of a tower or a tall building if we know the angle formed between the horizontal line and the line of sight.

    180° < v < 360°
    Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Complementary and Supplementary Angles

A pair of angles are said to be complementary if the sum of the angles is equal to 90°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

∠AOB + ∠BOC =50° + 40° = 90°
∠AOB + ∠BOC =90°
∴∠AOB and ∠BOC are complementary angles.
A pair of angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of the angles is equal to 180°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

∠AOB + ∠BOC = 135° + 45° = 180°
∠AOB + ∠BOC= 180°
∴ ∠AOB and ∠BOC are supplementary angles.

Example 1: If (2x − 20°) and (x + 5°) are complementary angles, find the angles.

A pair of angles is said to be complementary if the sum of the angles is equal to 90°.
If (2x − 20°)and (x + 5°) are complementary angles then their sum will be equal to 90°.
(2x − 20°) + (x + 5°) = 90°
2x − 20° + x + 5° = 90°
2x + x − 20° + 5° = 90
3x − 15° = 90° ⇒ 3x = 15° + 90°
3x = 105° ⇒ x = 105°/3 = 35°
(2x − 20°) = (2 × 35° − 20°) ⇒ 70° − 20° = 50°
(2x − 20°) = 50°
(x + 5°) = 35° + 5° = 40°
(x + 5°) = 40°

Example 2: Two supplementary are in the ratio 3: 6, find the angles.

Let the two supplementary angles be 3x and 6x,
3x + 6x = 180°

A pair of angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of the angles is equal to 180°
9x = 180°⇒ x = 180/9 = 20°
x = 20°
3x = 3 × 20 = 60°
6x = 6 × 20° = 120°

Adjacent Angles

Two angles are adjacent if
(i) they have a common vertex
(ii) they have a common arm
(iii) their non-common arms are on different sides of the common arm.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, ∠AOB and ∠BOC are adjacent angles because these angles have a common vertex O. Ray OB is the common arm. Rays AO and  CO are the non-common arms.
When two angles are adjacent, then their sum is always equal to the angle formed by the two non–common arms.

Therefore, ∠AOC = ∠AOB + ∠BOC
We see that ∠AOC and ∠AOB are not adjacent as their non-common arms OB and OC are on the same side of the common arm AO.

Linear pair of Angles

If the non-common arms of two adjacent angles are two opposite rays, then these angles are called linear pairs of angles.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, OA and OB are two opposite rays and ∠AOC, ∠BOC are adjacent angles.
Therefore, ∠AOC and ∠BOC form a linear pair.

Vertically Opposite Angles

When two lines AB and CD intersect each other at point O, then there are two pairs of vertically opposite angles.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here,
(i) ∠ AOC and ∠ BOD are vertically opposite angles.
(ii) ∠ AOD and ∠ BOC are vertically opposite angles

Intersecting and non-intersecting lines

Intersecting Lines: Two lines are said to be intersecting when the perpendicular distance between the two lines is not the same everywhere and they intersect at one point.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, lines AB and CD are intersecting lines.
Non-Intersecting Lines

Two lines are said to be non–intersecting when the perpendicular distance between them is the same everywhere and they do not meet.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

The lengths of the common perpendiculars at different points on these lines are the same and so these lines are parallel. This equal length is called the distance between two parallel lines.
Two lines in a plane will either intersect at one point or do not intersect at all, that is they are parallel.

Pairs of Angles

Axiom 1: If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, ray OC stands on line AB, then ∠AOC and ∠COB are adjacent angles.
Therefore, ∠AOC + ∠COB = 180°
In Axiom 1, it is given that a ray stands on a line and we concluded that the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°. Now, if we do the reverse and take the ‘conclusion’ of Axiom 1 as ‘given’ and ‘given’ as ‘conclusion’ then it becomes:

Statement A: If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180° then a ray stands on a line.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We see that Axiom 1 and Statement A are converse of each other.
If we place a ruler along with one of the non-common arms we see that the other non-common arm also lies along the ruler.
Therefore, points A, O and B lie on the same line and ray OC stands on it.
∠ AOC + ∠COB = 115°+ 65°= 180°
Therefore, statement A is true.
The given statement can be stated in the form of an axiom as follows:

Axiom 2: If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180°, then the non-common arms of the angles form a line.
Axiom 1 and 2, together are called the linear pair axiom.
Theorem 1: If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Given: Lines AB and CD intersect each other at point O. So, two pairs of vertically opposite angles are formed,
i) ∠ AOC and ∠BOD
ii) ∠ AOD and ∠COB
To prove: ∠AOC = ∠BOD and ∠AOD=∠COB
Proof: Here, ray AO stands on line CD.
∴ ∠AOC +∠AOD = 180°
(by Linear Pair axiom) ..... (1)
Similarly, ray DO stands on line AB.
∴ ∠AOD+∠BOD = 180°                (by Linear Pair axiom) ..... (2)
Using Eq 1 and 2 we get,
∠AOC +∠AOD = ∠AOD+∠BOD

Subtracting ∠AOD from both sides we get,
∠AOC +∠AOD - ∠AOD = ∠AOD+∠BOD - ∠AOD
(Euclid’s axiom 3 states that if equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal)
∠AOC +∠AOD - ∠AOD = ∠BOD + ∠AOD - ∠AOD
∴ ∠ AOC = ∠ BOD
Now, we know ray AO stands on line CD.
∴ ∠AOC +∠AOD = 180°
(by Linear Pair axiom) ..... (1)
Similarly, ray CO stands on line AB.
∴ ∠AOC+∠BOC = 180°
(by Linear Pair axiom) ..... (2)
Using Eq 1 and 2 we get,
∠AOC +∠AOD = ∠AOC+∠BOC
Subtracting ∠AOC from both sides we get,
∠AOC +∠AOD - ∠AOC = ∠AOC+∠BOC - ∠AOC
(Using Euclid’s axiom 3 states which that if equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal)
∠AOD + ∠AOC - ∠AOC = ∠BOC + ∠AOC- ∠AOC

∴ ∠ AOD = ∠ BOC
We see that two pairs of vertically opposite angles are equal.

Example 1: In the given figure AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC+∠DOE = 60° and ∠BOD = 35°, find ∠DOE and reflex ∠AOE.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We know,
(i) ∠AOC + ∠DOE = 60°
(ii) ∠BOD = 35°
Here, lines AB and CD intersect each other at O.
So, ∠AOC = ∠BOD = 35°
(If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal)
∠AOC + ∠DOE = 60°
35° + ∠DOE = 60°
(∵ ∠AOC = 35°)
∠DOE = 60° − 35° = 25°
∠DOE = 25°

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We see that COD is a straight line, that is the measure of the ∠COD is equal to 180°.
∠AOC+ ∠AOE +∠EOD = 180°
∠AOE + (∠AOC+ ∠EOD) = 180°
∠AOE + 60°= 180°
(∵ ∠AOC + ∠DOE = 60°)
∠AOE = 180° - 60°
∠AOE =120°

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Reflex ∠ AOE = 360°- 120°= 240°
(reflex angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 180° but less than 360°)
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Example 2: In the figure given below, lines PQ, RS and TU meet at point O. Find the value of x, hence find all the three indicated angles.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, lines PQ and TU intersect each other at O.
So, ∠POT = ∠UOQ = 5x (If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal)
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We see that ROS is a straight line, that is the measure of the ∠ROS is equal to 180°.
∠ROP+ ∠POT +∠TOS = 180°
4x + 5x + 3x = 180°
12x = 180°
x = 180°/12
x = 15°
∠POR = 4x = 4 × 15° = 60°
∠UOQ = 5x = 5 × 15° = 75°
∠TOS = 3x = 3 × 15° = 45°

Example 3: Lines AB and CD intersect each other at O. If ∠AOD:∠AOC = 2: 4, find all the angles x, y and z .

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We know,
∠AOD : ∠AOC = 2 : 4
Let, ∠AOD = 2a and ∠AOC = 4a
Ray AO stands on line CD.
∠AOD +∠AOC = 180°

(If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 1800 )
2a + 4a = 180°
6a = 180°
a = 180°/6 = 30°
∠ AOD = x = 2a = 2 × 30°= 60°
∠ AOC = z = 4a = 4 × 30°= 120°
x = y = 60° (Vertically opposite angles are equal)
So, x = 60°, y = 60° and z = 120°

Lines parallel to the same line

If two lines are parallel to the same line then they are parallel to each other. 

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We draw a transversal t for the lines l, m and n, where line l is parallel to line n and line m is parallel to line n.
Now,
∠1 = ∠3(corresponding angles axiom) → Eq 1
Similarly, ∠2 = ∠3 (corresponding angles axiom) → Eq 2
Using Eq 1 and 2 we get, ∠1 = ∠2
∠1 and ∠2 are corresponding angles.
The converse of corresponding angles axiom states that if a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of corresponding angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other
Therefore, line l is parallel to line m ( l || m )

Example 1: In the given figure, show that AB || CD.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

∠BCD = ∠BCE + ∠ECD
∠BCD = 25° + 55° = 80°
We see that ∠ABC and ∠BCD are alternate interior angles.
∠ABC = ∠BCD = 80°
If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of alternate interior angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel.
∴ AB ||CD
OR
∠ FEC + ∠ECD = 125° + 55° = 180°
If a transversal intersects two lines, in such a way that each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
∴ CD ||EF......... (1)
Now let us extend EF till it intersects BC at M and extend it till M’.
Then since CD ||EF
We can find the remaining angles.
The remaining angles are as shown:
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Now,
∠ CMM’ = ∠ DCM = 80° – (Interior alternate angles)
∠ BMM’ + ∠ CMM’ = 18° – Linear Pair of angles
∠ BMM’ = 100°
∠ BMM’ + ∠MBA = 100° + 80° = 180°
If a transversal intersects two lines, in such a way that each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
∴ AB ||EF......... (2)
From eq (1) and (2), we get
AB ||CD

Example 2: In the figure p||q||r. From the figure, find the ratio of (a + b): (b − a).

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

50° + b + 30° = 180°
b + (50° + 30°) = 180°
b + 80° = 180°
b = 180° − 80°
b = 100°
We know that p||q .

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary.

So, 110° + a = 180°
a = 180° − 110° = 70°
a = 70°
a + b = 70° + 100° = 170°
b − a = 100° − 70° = 30°
(a + b) : ( b − a) = 170°: 30°= 17°∶ 3°

Example 3: In the figure, PQ||RS, RS||TU, and TP⊥ PQ. If ∠STU = 65°, find the value of a, b and c.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We know, PQ||RS, RS||TU, and TP⊥ PQ.
∠ STU = 65°
b + 65° = 180°
(If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary)
b = 180° − 65° = 115°
b = c = 115° (corresponding angles)
a + 65° = 90° (∵ TP⊥ PQ)
a = 90° − 65° = 25°
So,a = 25°, b = c = 115°

Angle sum property of a triangle (Old Syllabus)

We know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°.

A triangle is a plane figure formed by three intersecting lines.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

  • ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C are called interior angles of the triangle.
  • When side BC is produced to D then we get an exterior angle,∠ACD.
  • ∠BAC and ∠ABC are called its interior opposite angles.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Theorem 1: The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°

Here, ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 are the angles of ∆ABC.
To prove: ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Construction: We draw a line XAY parallel to BC through the vertex A. (If we draw parallel lines then we can use the properties of parallel lines)
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, XAY is a straight line.
∴ ∠4 + ∠1 + ∠5 = 180° → Eq 1
We see that XAY is parallel to BC, so, AB and AC are transversals.
So, ∠4 = ∠2 (Alternate Angles)
∠3 = ∠5 (Alternate Angles)
Putting∠4 = ∠2, and ∠3 = ∠5 in Eq 1 we get,
∠2 + ∠1 + ∠3 = 180° → Eq 2
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
Thus, the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.

Theorem 2: If a side of a triangle is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.

In ∆ABC, side BC is produced to D to form the exterior angle, ∠ACD.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

To prove: ∠A + ∠B = ∠ACD
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180° (Angle sum property of triangle) → Eq 1
Here, BCD is a straight line.
∴ ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180° → Eq 2
From Eq 1 and 2 we get,
∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = ∠ACB + ∠ACD
Subtracting ∠ACB from both sides we get,
∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB - ∠ACB = ∠ACB + ∠ACD - ∠ACB
∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB - ∠ACB = ∠ACB - ∠ACB+ ∠ACD
∠A + ∠B = ∠ACD
Thus, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.

Example 1: The measure of the exterior angle, ∠PRS of ∆PQR is 100°.If one of the interior angles is 20°, find the measure of the other two angles of ∆PQR.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Exterior angle, ∠PRS = 100°
One of the interior angles = 20°
Let ∠Q = 20°
then the other interior opposite angle will be ∠P.
So,∠PRS = ∠Q + ∠P (exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles)
100° = 20° + ∠P
∠P = 100° − 20° = 80°
Now, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠PRQ = 180°
(Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°)
80° + 20° + ∠PRQ = 180°
100° + ∠PRQ = 180°
∠PRQ = 180° − 100°
∠PRQ = 80°
Therefore, the measures of the three angles of ∆PQR are
∠P = 80°
∠Q = 20°
∠PRQ = 80°

Example 2: In the figure given below, PY || SZ, PS ⊥ QR, and PY bisect∠XPR. If ∠XPR = 110° then find the measure of ∠PQR and ∠PRZ.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Now, ∠XPR = 110°
∠XPY = ∠YPR (∵ PY is the bisector which bisects ∠XPR)
∴ ∠XPY = ∠YPR = 110°/2 = 55°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We know that PY is parallel to SZ.
∠YPR = ∠PRS = 55° (alternate angles)
Here, SRZ is a straight line.
∴ ∠ PRS + ∠PRZ = 180°
55°+ ∠PRZ = 180°
∠PRZ = 180°- 55°
∠PRZ = 125°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Now, ∠ XPR = ∠PRQ + ∠PQR
(exterior angle of a triangle is equal
to the sum of the two interior opposite angles)
110° = 55° + ∠PQR
∠PQR = 110° − 55° = 55°
∠PQR = 55° and ∠PRZ = 125°

Example 3: In the figure given below, PR || QS. If ∠PRS = 50° and ∠SUT = 30° then find ∠STU.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We know, PR||QS and so ∠PRQ and ∠QSU are a pair of corresponding angles.
∴ ∠PRQ = ∠QSU =50°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

We see that ∠QSU is an exterior angle of the ∆ STU.
∠QSU = ∠SUT + ∠STU (exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles)
50° = 30° + ∠STU
∠STU = 50° − 30° = 20°
∠STU = 20°

Example 4: In the figure, ∠BPC = 40°, ∠ABQ = 65° and lines m and n are parallel to each other. Find x, y, and z.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

∠ABQ = ∠PBC = 65° (Vertically opposite angle)
Here, x is an exterior angle of ∆PBC.
∴ x = ∠PBC + ∠BPC
x = 65° + 40° = 105°
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6Line m || line n.
So, ∠ABQ = ∠BQC = y = 65° (Alternate angles)
In ∆ PQR,
∠P + ∠ Q + ∠R = 180°(Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°)
40° + y + z = 180°
40° + 65° + z = 180°
105° + z = 180°
z = 180° − 105°= 75°
x = 105°, y = 65° and z = 75°

Parallel Lines and Transversal Lines (Old Syllabus)

If two lines in the same plane do not intersect, when produced on either side, then such lines are said to be parallel to each other.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, lines l and m are parallel to each other.
A line that intersects two or more straight lines at distinct points is called a transversal line.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, line l intersects lines m and n at points A and B respectively.
We see that four angles are formed at each point A and B, namely
∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7 and ∠8.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

The pairs of angles formed, when a transversal intersects two lines are as follows:

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

  • Corresponding Angles: The angles on the same side of a transversal are known as corresponding angles if both lies either above or below the lines.
    ∠1 & ∠5
    ∠2 & ∠6
    ∠4 & ∠8
    ∠3 & ∠7
  • Alternate Interior Angles: The pairs of interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate interior angles.
    ∠4 & ∠6
    ∠3 & ∠5
  • Alternate Exterior Angles: The pairs of exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate exterior angles.
    ∠1 & ∠7
    ∠2 & ∠8
  • Interior angles on the same side of the transversal: They are also referred to as consecutive interior angles or allied angles or co-interior angles.
    ∠4 & ∠5
    ∠3 & ∠6

Here, we see that the lines m and n are not parallel. Can you tell what will happen if line l intersects two parallel lines m and n?
When a transversal l intersects two parallel lines m and n, then the relation between angles formed are obtained as axioms and theorems.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Axiom 1: If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of corresponding angles is equal. This axiom is known as a corresponding angle axiom.

When line l intersects two parallel lines m and n, then we see that each pair of corresponding angles is equal.
∴ ∠ 1 = ∠5, ∠2 = ∠6, ∠4 = ∠8 and ∠3 = ∠7
The converse of this axiom is as follows:
Axiom 2 (Converse of axiom 1): If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of corresponding angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other.
Theorem 1: If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of alternate angles is equal.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, line VW intersects two parallel lines RS and TU at points A and B respectively.
The two pairs of alternate interior angles are∠SAB and ∠TBA, ∠RAB and ∠ABU
To prove:
(i) ∠SAB = ∠TBA
(ii) ∠RAB = ∠ABU
We know,
∠VAR = ∠SAB (Vertically opposite angles) → Eq 1
∠VAR = ∠TBA (Corresponding angles axiom) Eq → 2
Using Eq 1 and 2 we see that,
∠VAR = ∠SAB and∠VAR = ∠TBA. Therefore, ∠SAB = ∠TBA
Similarly,
∠SAV = ∠RAB (Vertically opposite angles) Eq → 3
∠SAV = ∠ABU (Corresponding angles axiom) Eq → 4
Using Eq 3 and 4 we get,
∠SAV = ∠RAB and ∠SAV = ∠ABU. Therefore, ∠RAB = ∠ABU
So,∠SAB = ∠TBA and ∠RAB = ∠ABU

Therefore, the pairs of alternate interior angles are equal.

Theorem 2 (Converse of theorem 1): If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of alternate interior angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel.
Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, line VW intersects two parallel lines RS and TU at points A and B respectively in such a way that,∠SAB = ∠TBA and ∠RAB = ∠ABU.
To prove: RS is parallel to TU
We know,
∠SAB = ∠TBA (alternate interior angles) Eq → 1
∠SAB = ∠RAV (vertically opposite angles) Eq → 2
Using Eq 1 and 2 we see that,
∠SAB = ∠TBA and ∠SAB = ∠RAV. Therefore, ∠TBA = ∠RAV.
We know that∠TBA and ∠RAV are corresponding angles.

According to the converse of corresponding angles axiom, if a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of corresponding angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other.
So, RS and TU are parallel lines, that are RS || TU.

Theorem 3: If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, line UV intersects two parallel lines AB and CD at points X and Y respectively. So, two pairs of interior angles are formed; ∠AXY and ∠CYX, ∠BXY and ∠XYD.To prove: ∠AXY + ∠CYX = 180° and ∠BXY + ∠XYD = 180°
(pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary)
Here, ray XY stands on line AB. Therefore, ∠AXY and ∠BXY are adjacent angles.
So, ∠AXY + ∠BXY = 180°  →  Eq 1
(linear pair axiom states that if a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°)
Now, ∠BXY = ∠CYX (alternate interior angles)  → Eq 2
On putting ∠BXY = ∠CYX in Eq 1 we get,
∠AXY + ∠CYX = 180°
Similarly, ray XY stands on line CD. Therefore, ∠CYX and ∠XYD are adjacent angles.
So, ∠CYX + ∠XYD = 180° (linear pair axiom) Eq → 3
But, ∠CYX = ∠BXY (alternate interior angles) Eq → 4
On putting ∠CYX = ∠BXY in Eq 1 we get,
∠BXY + ∠XYD = 180°
Therefore,
∠AXY + ∠CYX = 180°
∠BXY + ∠XYD = 180°

Theorem 4 (Converse of theorem 4): If a transversal intersects two lines, in such a way that each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, line UV intersects two parallel lines AB and CD at points X and Y respectively in such a way that two pairs of interior angles on the same side of the transversal are ∠AXY and ∠CYX, ∠BXY and ∠XYD.
We know, ∠AXY + ∠CYX = 180°
∠BXY + ∠XYD = 180°
To prove: AB || CD
Here, ray XB stands on line UV. Therefore, ∠BXU and ∠BXY are adjacent angles.
So, ∠BXU + ∠BXY = 180° (linear pair axiom) → Eq 3
(linear pair axiom states that if a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°)
It is given that,
∠BXY + ∠XYD = 180° → Eq 4
Using Eq 3 and 4 we get,
∠BXU + ∠BXY = ∠BXY + ∠XYD
On subtracting ∠BXY from both sides we get,
∠BXU + ∠BXY - ∠BXY = ∠BXY + ∠XYD - ∠BXY
∠BXU + ∠BXY - ∠BXY = ∠BXY - ∠BXY + ∠XYD
So, ∠BXU = ∠XYD
Now, ∠BXU and ∠XYD are corresponding angles.

According to the converse of corresponding angles axiom, if a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of corresponding angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other. So, AB || CD.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Example 1: In the figure given below, PQ ||RS, find the value of a and ∠PAB and ∠ABR.

Now, ∠PAB = ∠ABS (Alternate interior angles)
a + 220 = 2a + 10°
22° − 10° = 2a − a
a = 12°
∠PAB = a + 22°
∠PAB = 12° + 22°(∵ a = 12°)

∠PAB = 34°
We know, ∠PAB = ∠ABS = 34°
Ray AB stands on line RS. Therefore, ∠ABR and ∠ABS are adjacent angles.
So, ∠ABR + ∠ABS = 18° (linear pair axiom)
∠ABR +34° = 180°(∵ ∠PAB = 34°)
∠ABR = 180° − 34°= 126°
∠ABR = 126°

Example 2: In the figure, PQ ||RS ||TU and a ∶ b = 1 : 2, find c.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Let, a = 1x and b = 2x
Now, a and b are interior angles on the same side of the transversal.

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary.
Therefore, a + b = 180°
x + 2x = 180° (∵ a = 3x, b = 2x)
3x = 180°
x = 180°/3 = 60°
Now, a = x = 60°
b = 2x = 2 × 60° = 120°
a = c = 60° (Alternate interior angle)
c = 60°

Example 3: In the figure PQ || RS, ∠PQX = 35° and ∠RSX = 40°, find a.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here we draw a line m parallel to PQ through X.

Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

Here, ∠PQX = ∠QXY = 35° (Alternate interior angle)
Again, ∠RSX = ∠YXS = 40° (Alternate interior angle)
Now, ∠QXS = ∠QXY + ∠YXS
∠QXS = 35° + 40°(∵ ∠QXY = 35° and ∠YXS = 40°)
∠QXS = 75°
∠QXS = a = 75°
Therefore, a = 75°

FAQs on Lines and Angles Class 9 Notes Maths Chapter 6

1. What are intersecting and non-intersecting lines?
Ans. Intersecting lines are lines that cross each other at a point, known as the point of intersection. Non-intersecting lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet or cross each other, regardless of how far they are extended. An example of non-intersecting lines is parallel lines, which remain the same distance apart at all points.
2. What are the different pairs of angles formed when two lines intersect?
Ans. When two lines intersect, they form several pairs of angles, including vertical angles, adjacent angles, and linear pairs. Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other at the intersection, and they are equal. Adjacent angles share a common side and a vertex but do not overlap. Linear pairs are adjacent angles that form a straight line and are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
3. How do you determine if two lines are parallel to the same line?
Ans. Two lines are said to be parallel to the same line if they are both equidistant from that line and do not intersect it. To determine if two lines are parallel to a given line, you can measure the angles formed when a transversal crosses them. If both angles are equal to the corresponding angles formed with the transversal and the given line, then the two lines are parallel to the same line.
4. What is the angle sum property of a triangle?
Ans. The angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees. This means that if a triangle has angles A, B, and C, then A + B + C = 180°. This property is fundamental in solving problems related to triangles and helps in finding unknown angles when two angles are known.
5. What are parallel lines and transversal lines?
Ans. Parallel lines are lines in the same plane that never meet or intersect, no matter how far they are extended. A transversal line is a line that crosses two or more parallel lines. When a transversal intersects parallel lines, it creates several pairs of angles, such as corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles, which have specific properties, such as being equal or supplementary.
