What you will do
Lesson 1
Perpendicular Lines and Perpendicular Bisector of Segment
a
In the figure, two lines a and b intersect at
point X, forming four angles. Two of these angles
are ∠ 1 and ∠ 2. If all these angle are right angles, 1 2
b
then a is perpendicular to b. The symbol to be x
used for perpendicular is “ ⊥ “. The figure above
can be represented in symbols as a ⊥ b.
We will define perpendicular lines as follows:
Two lines are perpendicular if and only if they intersect to form right angles. Since a ⊥ b
then ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are right angles. The two other angles in the figure are also right angles. In
the definition stated, there is the phrase if and only if (iff) which means that the definition is
two way. 1) If the lines are perpendicular, then the angles formed are right angles and 2) if

3
the angles are right angles, then the lines or sides of the angle are perpendicular. This
goes to show that one way of proving perpendicularity is to prove that the angles formed are
right angles.
For you to recognize perpendicular lines, a small square is indicated at the foot of the
perpendiculars which is the intersection.
Consider the given figure. OD ⊥ XM at O. Hence there is
a symbol of small square at the intersection. D
Notice that XM is divided into two segments
XO and OM which has similar markings. Those X M
Markings indicate that XO ≅ OM making O O
The midpoint of the segment. Therefore OD
is the perpendicular bisector of XM .
The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line, ray, segment or plane that is
perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint. There are four cases by which a segment has
its perpendicular bisector.

of MN .

Lesson 2
Exterior Angle of Triangle and Triangle Inequality
Given ∆ABC. If you extend side AC B
through point D, then there is a new angle
formed , ∠ BCD. ∠ BCD is both adjacent
and supplementary to one of the angles of
∆ABC. ∠ BCD is called an exterior angle
of ∆ABC . Two angles, ∠ A and ∠ B are A C D
interior angles of ∆ABC which are not adjacent to ∠ BCD. Therefore, ∠ A and ∠ B are
called remote interior angles of the exterior angle. ∠ BCD is adjacent to ∠ BCA. So ∠ BCA
is called the adjacent interior angle.
An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle which is adjacent and supplementary to
one of the angles of a triangle. The remote interior angles are angles of a triangle which are
not adjacent to the given exterior angle of the triangle. Adjacent interior angle is an interior
angle which forms a linear pair with the given exterior angle.
Illustration: Given ∆RST. S
∠ STP is an exterior angle.
∠ STP and ∠ STR are adjacent and supplementary.
∠ S and ∠ R are the two remote interior angles. R T P
∠ STR is the adjacent interior angle to ∠ STP.
Exterior Angle Equality Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two remote
interior angles. In ∆CEF, ∠ FED is an exterior angle F
Conclusions:
Since ∠ C and ∠ F are the two remote interior angles.
Therefore, m∠ FED = m∠ C + m∠ F C E D
Example: R
If in the given triangle ∆MRE,
m∠ M = 31, m∠ R = 34
then, m∠ RED = m∠ M + m∠ R
m∠ RED = 31 + 34
m∠ RED = 65 M E D
and m∠ REM = 180 – 65
m∠ REM = 115

Since in the latter part of the lesson, you will be dealing with inequalities, it is
necessary that you recall some properties of inequality which are of great help to you in
proving statements in Geometry.
Let a, b, x and y be real numbers.
Trichotomy Property. Exactly one of the following is true:
a < b; a = b; or a > b
Addition Property of Inequality
If a > b, then a + x > b + x
Subtraction Property of Inequality
If a > b, then a – x > b – x and x – b > x – a
Multiplication Property of Inequality
If a > b and y > 0, then ay > by
If a > b and y < 0, then ay < by
Transitive Property of Inequality
If a > b and b > c, then a > c.
This properties of inequality can be applied to geometric figures since the measures
of angles and segments are real numbers.
Illustrations:
For segments:
AB > CD if and only if AB > CD
AB < CD if and only if AB < CD
For angles:
∠ A > ∠ B if and only if m∠ A > m∠ B
∠ A < ∠ B if and only if m∠ A < m∠ B
In Geometry, whenever possible, every statement is supported by reasons. In this
lesson, you will find theorems are given but are not proven formally. Instead, illustrations are
provided for easier understanding. You may opt to prove them though but you are allowed
to use these theorems once you have gone through the illustrations and examples.
Theorem: The whole is greater than any of its parts.
The meaning of this theorem is very clear to see.
Examples:
1. 10 = 7 + 3
Therefore: 10 > 7 or 10 > 3

8
2. Given PR with point Q in between P and R.
By definition of betweenness, PR = PQ + QR P Q R
Therefore: PR > PQ
PR > QR
A C
3. Given ∠ X and C is in the interior of ∠ X
By the Angle Addition Postulate, B
m∠ X = m∠ AXC + m∠ CXB
X
Therefore by using the theorem,
m∠ X > m∠ AXC
m∠ x > m∠ CXB
Theorem: Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem. The measure of an exterior angle of a
triangle is greater than the measure of either of the two remote interior angles.
Illustration: In the figure, ∠ BAG is an B
exterior angle of ∆ABC.
∠ B and ∠ C are the two
Remote interior angles
Therefore: ∠ BAG > ∠ C C A G
∠ BAG > ∠ B
Examples:
1. If m∠ BAG = 113, then m∠ C < 113 and m∠ B < 113
But m∠ C + m∠ B = 113.
2. If m∠ C = 28, then m∠ BAG > 28.
Theorem: Triangle Inequality Theorem. In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any
two of its sides is greater than the length of its third side.
C
Illustration:
In ∆ABC, the following side inequalities hold
a. AB + BC > AC
b. AC + BC > AB
c. AC + AB > BC A B
Examples:
Determine if the following segments whose given measures are sides of a triangle.
1. 5 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm
2. 10 cm, 11 cm, 6 cm
3. 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm

9
Solution:
1. 5 + 3 > 4
3 + 4 > 5
5 + 4 > 3
Conclusion: Since the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side, then
5cm, 3cm and 4cm are measures of the sides of a triangle.
2. 10 + 11 > 6
11 + 6 > 10
10 + 6 > 11
Conclusion: Since the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side, then
10 cm, 11 cm and 6cm are measures of the sides of a triangle.
3. 3 + 2 > 1
3 + 1 > 2
2 + 1 = 3
Conclusion: Since one of the sum is not greater than the third side then,
3cm, 2cm and 1 cm are not measures of sides of a triangle.
4. If in the given triangle, the lengths of the two sides are given, what is the range of the
length of the third side, PQ ?
a. 5 + 8 > PQ
13 > PQ
b. 5 + PQ > 8
PQ > 8 – 5
PQ > 3
c. 8 + PQ > 5
PQ > 5 – 8
PQ > - 3 (This cannot be since the side of triangle is always positive)
d. Combining statements a and b into a single statement will give you 13 > PQ and
PQ > 3 which is written as 13 > PQ > 3.
Reversing the order, the statement can be written as 3 < PQ < 13.
So the range of the third side is 3 < PQ < 13. If you have noticed, that 3 is the
difference between the lengths of the two given sides, while 13 is the sum of the lengths of
the two given sides.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that “In any right triangle, the square of the length
of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs.”

Two lines are perpendicular if and only if they intersect to form right angles.
The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line, ray, segment or plane that is
perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint.
Any two right angles are congruent.
An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle, which is adjacent and supplementary to
one of the angles of a triangle. The remote interior angles are angles of the triangle which
are not adjacent to the given exterior angle.
