Study Notes
Angles and Perpendicular Lines
- Math 143 covers plane and solid geometry
Angles
- An angle is formed by the union of two non-collinear rays sharing the same endpoint
- The common endpoint is called the vertex
- The rays are the sides of the angle
- Angles have an interior and exterior
Interior of an Angle
- The interior of an angle is the intersection of half-planes defined by the edges of the angle
- The exterior is the set of points not in the interior
Naming Angles
- Angles can be named in three ways: using three letters, a number, or a single letter
- Three letters: the middle letter represents the vertex
- The other two letters correspond to points on the sides
- A number is placed at the vertex inside the angle
- A single letter represents the vertex, provided it is clear which angle is referred to
Adjacent Angles
- Adjacent angles share a common side and have no interior points in common
Vertical Angles
- Vertical angles are non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines
- Vertical angles share a common vertex
Angle Measurement
- An angle has a unique real number between 0 and 180, which is its degree measure
- The measure of angle A is written as m∠A
- A protractor can be used to measure angles, positioning the vertex at the midpoint
- One side is aligned with the horizontal base at the zero marking
Measuring Angles
- Angle measurement is read where the other side intersects the protractor
- Also, the angle can be measured by taking the positive difference of real numbers on the protractor
Angle Measure Postulate
- For every real number d with 0° < d < 180°, there exists a unique ray RT such that m∠TRS = d
Angle Addition Postulate
- If B is in the interior of ∠ADC, then m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC
Types of Angles
- Acute angle: less than 90°
- Obtuse angle: greater than 90°
- Right angle: equal to 90°
- Right angles are indicated by a symbol at the vertex.
Angle Relationships
- Complementary angles: two angles whose measures add up to 90°
- Each is the complement of the other
- Supplementary angles: two angles whose measures add up to 180°
- Each is the supplement of the other
- Congruent angles have equal measures
Theorems on Angles
- All right angles are congruent
- If two angles are congruent and supplementary, they are right angles
- Congruence of angles is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive
Supplements and Complements
- Supplements of congruent angles are congruent
- Complements of congruent angles are congruent
- Complements of the same angle are congruent
Angle Bisectors
- A ray XT is a bisector of ∠RXS if T is in the interior of ∠RXS and ∠RXT ≅ ∠TXS
Linear Pairs
- Angles that form a linear pair are adjacent and their non-common sides form opposite rays
- Angles that form a linear pair are supplementary
Vertical Angle Theorem
- Vertical angles are congruent
Perpendicular Lines
- Lines intersecting at a right angle are perpendicular, indicated by the symbol "⊥"
Perpendicular Bisectors
- A perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint
- If two lines are perpendicular, they form four right angles
Unique Perpendiculars
- In a plane, through a point on a given line, there is exactly one line perpendicular to the given line
- A segment has a unique perpendicular bisector in a plane
- If two angles are adjacent and complementary, their non-common sides are perpendicular
