Study Notes
Types of Angles
-
Acute Angle: An angle measuring less than 90 degrees.
-
Right Angle: An angle measuring exactly 90 degrees.
-
Obtuse Angle: An angle measuring more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
-
Straight Angle: An angle measuring exactly 180 degrees.
-
Reflex Angle: An angle measuring more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
Special Angle Pairs
-
Corresponding Angles:
- Formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines.
- Located in the same position in relation to the parallel lines.
- Are equal in measure.
-
Alternate Interior Angles:
- Formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines.
- Located on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines.
- Are equal in measure.
-
Consecutive (Co-interior) Angles:
- Formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines.
- Located on the same side of the transversal and inside the parallel lines.
- Are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).
-
Vertically Opposite Angles:
- Formed when two lines intersect.
- Located opposite each other at the intersection point.
- Are equal in measure.
Visual Representation (if applicable)
- Consider drawing diagrams to illustrate each type of angle and their relationships, especially for corresponding, alternate interior, co-interior, and vertically opposite angles.
Types of Angles
- Acute Angle: Measures less than 90 degrees, representing sharp angles.
- Right Angle: Measures exactly 90 degrees, often marked with a small square.
- Obtuse Angle: Measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, creating a wider opening.
- Straight Angle: Measures exactly 180 degrees, appearing as a straight line.
- Reflex Angle: Measures more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees, creating a backward or larger opening.
Special Angle Pairs
-
Corresponding Angles:
- Equal in measure and located in the same position relative to the two parallel lines when a transversal intersects them.
-
Alternate Interior Angles:
- Equal in measure and found on opposite sides of the transversal, positioned inside the two parallel lines.
-
Consecutive (Co-interior) Angles:
- Supplementary angles that add up to 180 degrees and are located on the same side of the transversal but inside the parallel lines.
-
Vertically Opposite Angles:
- Equal in measure and located across from each other at the intersection of two lines.
