Lesson 1: Angles and shapes
Remember:
A line is the shortest An angle is formed from
distance between two the intersection of two
A point is where two lines points. lines ( the arms of the
meet. angle) at a point ( the
vertex of the angle )
Two lines that intersect at Two lines are parallel if An acute angle is less
a right angle are they are at the same than 90º
perpendicular lines. perpendicular distance
apart at all points.
An obtuse angle is A straight angle = 180º. A reflex angle is greater
greater than 90º but less than 180º but less than
than 180º. 360º
Complementary angles Supplementary angles The angles around a
add up to 90º . add up to 180º . point add up to 360º.
