Lines & angles

When two straight lines meet at a point, they form an angle. The point is called the
vertex of the angle, and the lines are called the sides of the angle.
The angle to the right can be identified in three ways:
1.
2.
3. or

When two straight lines meet at a point, they form four angles. The angles opposite
each other are called vertical angles, and they are congruent (equal). In the figure ,

a = b, and c = d.
Angles are measured in degrees . By definition, a circle has . So an angle can be
measured by its fractional part of a circle.
An angle that is of the arc of a circle is 1û. And an angle that is of the arc of a circle

is
• An acute angle has measure less than

• A right angle has measure :

• An obtuse angle has measure greater than

• A straight angle has measure

• Two angles are supplementary if their angle sum is

• Two angles are complementary if their angle sum is

• Perpendicular lines meet at right angles:

• Two lines in the same plane are parallel if they never intersect. Parallel lines
have the same slope
• When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, three important angle relationships
exist:

Alternate interior angles are equal


Corresponding angles are equal

Interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.

• The shortest distance from a point to a line is along a new line that passed
through the point and is perpendicular to the original line.

Example 1:
Write complement of 42o, 87o, 20o.
Angles 48o, 3o, 70o are the complements of the angles 42o, 87o, 20o respectively.
Example 2:
Write the supplement of 108o, 93o, 170o.
Angles 72o, 87o, 10o are the supplements of the angles 108o, 93o, 170o respectively.
