Study Notes
Angle Relationships
- Vertical Angles: Formed by two intersecting lines. Non-adjacent angles with opposite rays.
- Linear Pairs: Two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight angle.
Theorems
- If two angles are congruent, they share the same measure.
- Vertical angles are always congruent.
- Angles in a linear pair have a sum of 180°.
Angle Classifications
- Acute Angle: Less than 90°.
- Right Angle: Exactly 90°.
- Obtuse Angle: Greater than 90° but less than 180°.
- Straight Angle: Exactly 180°.
Adjacent Angles
- Two angles are adjacent if they share a common ray and vertex.
Complementary and Supplementary Angles
- Complementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 90°. Not required to be adjacent.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 180°.
Angle Relationships in Diagrams
- Use diagrams to identify and solve for missing angle measures and variables.
- Complement of an angle: The degree measure that, when added to the angle, equals 90°.
Problem Solving Tips
- For complementary angles, if one angle measure is known, subtract from 90° to find the other.
- For supplementary angles, if one angle measure is known, subtract from 180° to find the other.
