Study Notes
Rays
- A ray is a portion of a line with one endpoint and all points extending to one side
- Named using two points, the first point must be the endpoint and the second point can be any other point on the ray
- A ray is denoted by placing an arrow above the two points Example: AB→\overrightarrow{AB}AB
Opposite Rays
- Two rays that share the same endpoint, are on the same line (collinear), and extend in opposite directions, forming a straight line
- AB→\overrightarrow{AB}AB and BA→\overrightarrow{BA}BA are opposite rays
Angles
- Formed by two non-collinear rays (sides) that share a common endpoint (vertex)
- Angle symbol: ∠\angle∠
- An angle can be named using three points: ∠ABC\angle ABC∠ABC where point B is the vertex
- An angle can also be named using a single number or a single letter: ∠1\angle 1∠1 or ∠A\angle A∠A
Measuring Angles
- Measured in degrees
- 1 degree is 1/360th of a turn around a circle
- Protractor can be used to measure angles
- Symbol for "measure of an angle" is m∠m\anglem∠
Classifying Angles
- Acute Angle: An angle with a measure less than 90 degrees
- Right Angle: An angle with a measure of 90 degrees
- Obtuse Angle: An angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
- Straight Angle: An angle with a measure of 180 degrees
- Reflex Angle: An angle with a measure greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees
Angle Addition and Subtraction Postulate
- Angles can be divided into smaller parts
- The sum of the measures of the smaller parts is equal to the measure of the largest angle
- Part + Part = Whole
- Whole – Part = Part
Congruent Angles
- Angles that have the same degree measure
- Notation: ∠ABC≅∠DEF\angle ABC \cong \angle DEF∠ABC≅∠DEF
Angle Bisector
- A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
- BD→\overrightarrow{BD}BD bisects ∠ABC\angle ABC∠ABC then ∠ABD≅∠CBD\angle ABD \cong \angle CBD∠ABD≅∠CBD
