    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.

    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.
