THE BASIC TERMS

ANGLES
An angle is the union of two
rays which have the same endpoint
The two rays are called the
sides of the angle; the common
endpoint is the vertex.

AB and BC are sides of <ABC

while points B is the vertex

An angle separates a plane into

three sets
** the points on the angle
** those in the interior of the angle
** those in the exterior of the angle

The interior of an angle is the

intersection of two half planes
The exterior of an angle is the
set of points in a plane which
do not belong to the interior of
the angle or to the angle itself

Measuring An Angle
: An Angle is measured with a
Protractor
: The unit measure is called a
Degree
:The no. of degrees in an angle
is called its Measure

Kinds of Angles
A. Acute angle
Measures greater than 0 but
less than 90

B. Right Angle
Is an angle whose measure is
90

C. Obtuse Angle
Measures greater than 90 but
less than 180

D. Straight Angle
Measures exactly 180

E. Reflex angle
Is an angle whose measure is
between 180 to 360

. one complete revolution measures

exactly 360

Angle Pairs
Complementary Angles
Two angles are complimentary if
and only if the sum of their
measure is 90

Supplementary Angles
Two angles are suplementary if and
if the sum of their measures is 180

Vertical Angles
Are angles whose sides form two
pairs of opposite rays
For any two lines that meet, such as
in the diagram below, angle AEB and
angle DEC are called vertical angles.

Vertical angles have the same degree

measurement. Angle BEC and angle
AED are also vertical angles.

Alternate Exterior Angles

For any pair of parallel lines
1and 2, that are both intersected
by a third line, such as line
3 in the diagram below, angle
A and angle D are called
alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles have the

same degree measurement. Angle
B and angle C are also alternate
exterior angles.

Alternate Interior Angles

For any pair of parallel lines
1 and 2, that are both intersected
by a third line, such as line 3
in the diagram below, angle A
and angle D are called alternate
interior angles.

Alternate interior angles have the

same degree measurement. Angle
B and angle C are also alternate
interior angles.

Corresponding Angles
For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2,
that are both intersected by a third
line, such as line 3 in the diagram
below, angle A and angle C are called
corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles have the same

degree measurement. Angle B and
angle D are also corresponding angles.

Angle Bisector
An angle bisector is a ray that
divides an angle into two equal
angles.
The blue ray on the right is the
angle bisector of the angle on the left.

Perpendicular Lines
Two lines that meet at a right
angle are perpendicular

Linear Pair of Angles

A pair of adjacent angles formed by
intersecting lines. Angles 1 and 2 below
are a linear pair. So are angles 2 and 4,
angles 3 and 4, and angles 1 and 3.
Linear pairs of angles are
supplementary.

Congruent Angles
Congruent Angles have the same
angle in degrees.

TRIANGLES
A Triangle is the union of three
segments determined by three
noncollinear points
The non collinear points are called
Vertices, the three segments are the
Sides of the triangle. Every triangle
determines three angles called
Angles of the triangles

B
C
The sides of triangle ABC are line of
AB,AC, and BC. The three angles are
angle A, angle B. Angle C.

A triangle separates the plane where

it is drawn into three sets
:The triangle
:The interior
The interior of a triangle is the
intersection of the interior of its
angle

:The exterior
The exterior is the set of points
in a plane which do not belong

interior

Types of Triangles
Classification of triangle in terms of angles
Right Triangles
A right triangle has one 90

90

Acute Triangle
The Acute Triangle has three
acute angle .

Obtuse Triangle
The Obtuse Triangle has an
obtuse angle

Equiangular Triangle
All three angles are equal to
60 degrees

60

Classification of triangle in terms of sides

Equilateral Triangle:
All three sides have equal length

Scalene Triangle
The Scalene Triangle has no
congruent sides.

Isosceles triangle
The isosceles triangle has two
Congruent sides

Secondary Part of a Triangle

Angle Bisectors in a Triangle
The angle bisector of an angle of a
triangle is a straight line that divides
the angle into two congruent angles.

Perpendicular bisector
The perpendicular bisector of a
side of a triangle is a line
perpendicular to the side and
passing through its midpoint.

Find two angles such that

a. The angles are supplementary and
the larger is twice the smaller.
b. The angles are complementary
and the larger is 20 more
than the smaller.

c. The angles are adjacent and forms

an angle of 120. The larger is 20
less than three times the smaller.
d. The angles are vertical and
complementary.

Solutions:
In each solution, x is a number only. This number indicates the
number of degrees contained in the angle. Hence, if x=60, the angle
measures 60.
a)Let x=m (smaller angle) and 2x=m (larger angle)
Principle 5: x + 2x= 180, so 3x=180; x=60
2x=120
Ans: 60
and 120
b)
Let x=m (smaller angle) and x + 20=m (larger angle)
Principle 3: x + (x+20)= 90, or 2x + 20=90; x=35
x+20=55
Ans: 35

c)Let x=m (smaller angle) and 3x-20=m (larger angle)

$ 3x-20=85
Ans:

d)Let x=m (each vertical angle) . They are congruent by principle 2
