Q1 of 12 Page 16

In each of the following figures, name the intercepts, the lines that form them and the transversal on which they are formed.

Transversal: When a line cuts or intercepts the parallel lines, then that line is called as transversal line.


Intercept: When a line meets or cuts another line then that intersection point is known as intercept point.


By observing the above figure we can say that there are three parallel lines (g,h,l) and one transversal (q)


There are three intercepts (D, E, F).

In the figure alongside, line a|| line b|| line c. Line d and line e are their transversals and intersect them in points P, Q, R and L, M, N respectively. Point Q is the midpoint of seg PR. If l(QR) = 7.2 and l(LM) = 6.2, find l(PQ) and l(MN).
