3. There are four main types of angles.
Straight angle
180o
Right angle
90o
Acute angle

Vertically opposite angles are pairs of angles formed by two
lines intersecting at a point.

called a transversal.

10. Corresponding Angles
Corresponding angles are angles in the same spot in both
lines
Corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.
