Study Notes
Types of Lines
- Parallel Lines: Lines that never intersect, no matter how far they are extended.
- Perpendicular Lines: Lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle.
- Intersecting Lines: Lines that intersect at a single point.
- Skew Lines: Lines that are not parallel and do not intersect.
- Collinear Lines: Lines that lie on the same plane and intersect at a single point.
Types of Angles
- Acute Angle: An angle less than 90 degrees.
- Right Angle: An angle equal to 90 degrees.
- Obtuse Angle: An angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Straight Angle: An angle equal to 180 degrees.
- Reflex Angle: An angle greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
Angle Relationships
- Complementary Angles: Angles that add up to 90 degrees.
- Supplementary Angles: Angles that add up to 180 degrees.
- Adjacent Angles: Angles that share a common vertex and side.
- Vertical Angles: Angles formed by two intersecting lines, opposite each other.
Line and Angle Properties
- Line Segments: A part of a line with a fixed length.
- Rays: A line that extends from a single point to infinity.
- Midpoint: The point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.
- Bisector: A line that divides an angle into two equal parts.
Theorems and Postulates
- Ruler Postulate: The points on a line can be paired with real numbers.
- Angle Addition Postulate: The measure of an angle is equal to the sum of the measures of its non-overlapping parts.
- Vertical Angle Theorem: Vertical angles are equal in measure.
