3. Definition and Properties
Lines and Angles
Line segment : A line segment has two end points with a definite length.
Line : A straight path extending in both the directions with no end point.
Ray : Ray is a line with a single endpoint that extends infinitely in one direction.

A shape formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
Angle contains two rays and a vertex.
The magnitude of the angle is the "amount of rotation" that
separates the two rays, and can be measured by considering
the length of circular arc swept out when one ray is rotated
about the vertex to coincide with the other.

Ray—has one endpoint and goes
infinitely in one direction
Vertex—point common to two rays of
a triangle or two sides of a polygon

Measuring Angles
You measure angles with a protractor.

Notice there are two scales. Be careful which 0 you start at.

Types of Angles
□ Acute Angle: An angle whose measure is greater than
zero degrees and less than 90 degrees. A-cute=Small
7. □ One angle measures greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees□ Obtuse angle

Right Angle
□ Angle that measures 90 degrees

Straight angle
A straight angle changes the direction to point the opposite way.
It looks like a straight line. It measures 180° (half a revolution, or two right angles)
10. Reflex Angle
Reflex angles are angles measuring greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees.
The measure of a reflex angle is added to an acute or obtuse angle
to make a full 360 degree circle.
11. Complete Angle
□ Angle whose measure is equal to
1 Revolution = 1 Complete Angle
A Straight line makes an angle of 360
to reach its initial position completely by the rotation

What are complementary angles ?
Two angles are called Complementary angles if the sum of their degree
measurements equal 90 degree (right angle) One of the complementary
angle is said to be the complement of the other.
The two angles do not need to be together or adjacent they just need to
add up to 90 degrees.

What are Supplementary angles ?
Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.
A pair of adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines.
Linear pairs of angles are supplementary.
15. At both the vertices A and B, we find, a pair of angles are placed next
to each other. These angles are such that:
(i) they have a common vertex;
(ii) they have a common arm; and
(iii) vertex and a common arm but no common interior points.
the non-common arms are on either side of the common arm.
Adjacent Angle

a pair of angles is said to be vertical (also opposite and vertically opposite)
if the angles are formed from two intersecting lines and the angles are not adjacent.
They all share a vertex. Such angles are equal in measure and can be described as congruent.
Vertically Opposite angles

17. Transversal :- A transversal, or a line that intersects two or more
coplanar lines, each at a different point, is a very useful line in
geometry. Transversals tell us a great deal about angles.
Parallel Lines :- Parallel lines remain the same distance apart
over their entire length. No matter how far you extend them, they
will never meet.
• Corresponding Angles : 6, 2 & 5,1
• Alternate Interior Angles : 5,4 & 6,3
• Alternate Exterior Angles :
• Interior Angles on same side of the transversal

The angles that occupy the same
relative position at each
intersection where a straight line
crosses two others. If the two lines
are parallel, the corresponding
angles are equal.

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
the two pairs of angles on
opposite sides of the transversal
and inside the parallel lines,
and the angles in each pair are congruent.
Alternate interior angle
20. A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
A pen stand :The pen makes a linear pair of angles with the stand.
