Study Notes
Types of Angles
- Angles are formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex.
- Acute angles: Measure less than 90 degrees.
- Right angles: Measure exactly 90 degrees, often denoted by a small square at the vertex.
- Obtuse angles: Measure more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Straight angles: Measure exactly 180 degrees, forming a straight line.
- Reflex angles: Measure more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
- Full angles: Measure exactly 360 degrees, forming a complete circle.
Measuring Angles
- Protractors are used to measure angles.
- The protractor has a semicircular shape with markings on its edge representing degrees, from 0 to 180.
- To measure an angle, place the protractor on the angle so that the center of the protractor aligns with the vertex of the angle, and one ray aligns with the 0-degree mark on the protractor.
- The degree marking where the other ray intersects the protractor's edge gives the measurement of the angle.
Complementary and Supplementary Angles
- Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
- Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees.
Adjacent Angles
- Adjacent angles are angles that share a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap.
Vertical Angles
- Vertical angles are a pair of non-adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.
- Vertical angles are always congruent (equal in measure).
Angle Relationships in Triangles
- The sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.
- Exterior angles in a triangle are supplementary to the adjacent interior angle of the triangle.
Angle Relationships in Polygons
- The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides.
- The sum of exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees.
Special Types of Triangles
- Equilateral triangles: All three sides and angles are equal, each angle measures 60 degrees.
- Isosceles triangles: Two sides and two angles are equal.
- Scalene triangles: No sides or angles are equal.
Angle Relationships in Parallel Lines
- When parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, various angle relationships emerge.
- Corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles are important relationships, all of which are equal.
