Study Notes
Angle Relationships
- Complementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 90°.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 180°.
- Adjacent Angles: Share a common side and a vertex but do not overlap.
- Vertical Angles: Formed by intersecting lines, sharing a common vertex without a common side; vertical angles are congruent.
Key Theorems
- Vertical Angle Theorem: Vertical angles are always congruent.
- Linear Pair: Two angles that are adjacent and supplementary, forming a straight line.
- Linear Pair Postulate: If two angles form a linear pair, they are supplementary.
Types of Lines
- Parallel Lines: Coplanar lines that never intersect.
- Skew Lines: Noncoplanar lines that are neither parallel nor intersecting.
- Intersecting Lines: Lines that cross each other in a plane at a single point, known as the point of intersection.
Perpendicular Lines
- Definition: Two lines that intersect to form a right angle (90°).
-
Theorems on Perpendicular Lines:
- If lines are perpendicular, adjacent angles formed are congruent.
- When two lines are perpendicular, the four angles created are congruent and each measures 90°.
Perpendicular Bisector
- A line, segment, ray, or plane that bisects another segment at its midpoint while being perpendicular to it, resulting in two congruent segments.
