Study Notes
Transversals
- A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines.
- The lines intersected by the transversal do not necessarily have to be parallel.
- When a transversal crosses two lines, it forms special angle pairs: corresponding, alternate, and cointerior angles.
Identifying Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines are indicated by using the same arrow set on each line. For example, if AB is parallel to CD, this is written as AB || CD.
Angle Relationships with Parallel Lines
- Corresponding Angles are equal when the transversal crosses two parallel lines.
- Alternate Angles are equal when the transversal crosses two parallel lines.
- Cointerior Angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees) when the transversal crosses two parallel lines.
Adjacent Angles
- Adjacent angles share a common vertex and arm.
- Two adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary.
Angles in a Revolution
- Angles in a complete circle (revolution) add up to 360 degrees.
Vertically Opposite Angles
- Vertically opposite angles are formed when two lines intersect.
- They are equal and share a common vertex, but are situated on opposite sides of the vertex.
Perpendicular Lines
- Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).
- This is written as AB ⊥ CD, indicating line AB is perpendicular to line CD.
Transversals
- A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines.
- The lines intersected by a transversal don’t have to be parallel.
Angle Pairs
- A transversal creates special angle pairs.
- Corresponding angles: In the same position relative to the transversal and the two intersected lines.
- Alternate angles: On opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two intersected lines.
- Cointerior angles: On the same side of the transversal and inside the two intersected lines.
- Parallel lines, indicated with the same arrow set (e.g., AB||CD), have specific angle relationships when intersected by a transversal.
- Corresponding angles are equal.
- Alternate angles are equal.
- Cointerior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).
Other Angle Types
- Adjacent angles: They share a vertex and one arm, and sit side by side.
- Two adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary: They add up to 180 degrees.
- Angles in a revolution: Add up to 360 degrees.
- Vertically opposite angles: Form when two lines intersect. They are equal and sit opposite each other across their common vertex.
- Perpendicular lines (ab ⊥ cd): Meet at a right angle (90 degrees).
