ANGLES
ANGLES
An angle is defined as a
union of two rays with a
common endpoint.
The rays are the sides of the
angle.
The common endpoint is its
vertex.
The symbol of angle is
Naming an Angle
An angle may be
named in any of the
following ways:
1. With the vertex
letter, if there is only
one angle having
this vertex, as in
Figure 2.
2. With a small letter or
Naming an Angle
An angle may be
named in any of the
following ways:
3. With three capital
letters, such that the
vertex letter is
between two others,
one from each side of
the angle. In Figure 4,
may be named or
Measuring the Size of an Angle
The size of an angle
depends upon the
extent to which one
side of the angle is
rotated or turned
about the vertex,
until it meets the
other side. We
choose degrees to beThe protractor in Fig. 5 shows that measures . If
were rotated about the vertex A until it meets
the unit of measure the amount of rotation would be .
Kinds of Angles
Angles are classified according to its measure:
Acute angle
An acute angle
has a measure
that is less than .
(Fig. 6)
Kinds of Angles
Angles are classified according to its measure:
Right angle
A right angle
measures. (Fig. 7)
Kinds of Angles
Angles are classified according to its measure:
Obtuse angle
A an obtuse angle
has a measure
greater than but
less than . (Fig. 8)
Kinds of Angles
Angles are classified according to its measure:
Straight angle
A straight angle
measures . (Fig.

Kinds of Angles
Angles are classified according to its measure:
Reflex angle
A reflex angle
measures greater
than but less
than . (Fig. 10)
Angle Pairs
Adjacent angles
Adjacent angles are
two angles that have
the same vertex and a
common side
between them. In Fig.
14, and are adjacent
angles.
Angle Pairs
Vertical angles
Vertical angles are two
nonadjacent angles formed
by two intersecting lines
and have equal measures.
In Fig. 15, and are vertical
angles. and are another
pair of vertical angles.
Therefore, and
Angle Pairs
Complementary
angles
Complementary angles are
two angles whose
measures total .
In Fig. 16, . Hence, and are
complimentary angles.
Angle Pairs
Supplementary
angles
Supplementary angles
are two angles whose
measures total .
In Fig. 17, . Hence, and
are supplementary
angles.
Angles formed by Parallel lines and
Transversals
Definitions:
Transversal is a line that cuts across
two more lines.
Parallel lines are lines in plane that
do not intersect.
Corresponding angles are non-
consecutive angles on the same side of
the transversal, one exterior and one
interior angles.
Alternate Interior angles are two
Angles formed by Parallel lines cut
by a Transversals
Corresponding
angles
If two parallel lines are
cut by a transversal,
then the corresponding
angles are congruent.
(Note: Congruent means
equal measures)
Angles formed by Parallel lines cut
by a Transversals
Alternate
Interior angles
If two parallel lines
are cut by a
transversal, then
the alternate
interior angles are
Angles formed by Parallel lines cut
by a Transversals
Alternate
Exterior angles
If two parallel lines
are cut by a
transversal, then
the alternate
exterior angles are
Angles formed by Parallel lines cut
by a Transversals
Interior angles on
the same side
If two parallel lines
are cut by a
transversal, the
angles on the same
side of a transversal
are supplementary.
