Study Notes
Parallel Lines and Transversals
- Parallel Lines: Lines that remain equidistant and never intersect within the same plane.
- Transversal Line: A line that crosses two or more lines, typically creating angles with parallel lines.
Angle Relationships
- Congruent Angles: Angles that have equal measures, indicating they are the same size.
- Intersecting Lines: Two lines that meet or cross, resulting in four formed angles.
- Vertical Angles: Opposite angles formed where two lines intersect; they are always congruent.
Types of Angles in Relation to Parallel Lines
- Corresponding Angles: Angles that occupy the same position on different parallel lines when intersected by a transversal.
- Alternate Interior Angles: Angles located between two lines on opposite sides of the transversal; they are equal when lines are parallel.
- Alternate Exterior Angles: Angles located outside the two lines on opposite sides of a transversal; they are also congruent when lines are parallel.
- Same Side Interior Angles: Two angles that are on the same side of the transversal and between the parallel lines; they are supplementary.
- Same Side Exterior Angles: Two angles that are on the same side of the transversal and outside the parallel lines; they are also supplementary.
Additional Angle Concepts
- Consecutive Angles: Angles that share a side, which can apply to various angle relationships.
- Adjacent Angles: Two angles that share a common side and vertex, positioned next to each other.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that sum up to 180 degrees, typically forming a straight line when combined.
