3. Points, Lines, and Planes Below is a summary of the figures described on the last few slides showing how each is symbolized.

4. Angles An angle is a figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint. The rays are called the sides of the angle, and the endpoint is called the vertex. The symbol for angle is ∠, and there are a number of ways to name angles. The angle shown could be called ∠ ABC, ∠ CBA, ∠ B, or ∠ 1.

5. Measuring Angles One way to measure an angle is in degrees, symbolized by °. One degree is defined to be 1/360 of a complete rotation.

6. The instrument that is used to measure an angle is called a protractor. Measuring Angles The center of the base of the protractor is placed at the vertex of the angle, and the bottom of the protractor is placed on one side of the angle. The angle measure is marked where the other side falls on the scale. m ∠ ABC = 40º

7. An acute angle has a measure between 0° and 90°. A right angle has a measure of 90°. Classifying Angles Angles can be classified by their measures.

8. An obtuse angle has a measure between 90° and 180°. A straight angle has a measure of 180°. Classifying Angles Angles can be classified by their measures.

9. Pairs of Angles Pairs of angles have various names depending on how they are related. Two angles are called adjacent angles if they have a common vertex and a common side. Adjacent angles, ∠ ABC and ∠ CBD are shown. The common vertex is B and the common side is the ray BC.

10. Pairs of Angles Pairs of angles have various names depending on how they are related. Two angles are said to be complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°. Shown are two complementary angles. The sum of the measures of ∠ GHI and ∠ IHJ is 90°.

11. Pairs of Angles Pairs of angles have various names depending on how they are related. Two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of their measures is equal to 180°. Shown are two supplementary angles. The sum of the measures of ∠ WXY and ∠ YXZ is 180°.

12. Pairs of Angles Just as two intersecting streets have four corners at which you can cross, when two lines intersect, four angles are formed, as we see in the figure. Angles 1 and 3 are called vertical angles, as are angles 2 and 4. It’s easy to believe from the diagram that two vertical angles have the same measure.

13. Parallel Lines Two lines in the same plane are called parallel if they never intersect. You might find it helpful to think of them as lines that go in the exact same direction. If two lines l 1 and l 2 are parallel, we write l 1 || l 2. When two parallel lines are intersected by a third line, we call the third line a transversal.

14. Parallel Lines Shown are two parallel lines cut by a transversal. The angles between the parallel lines (angles 3–6) are called interior angles, and the ones outside the parallel lines (angles 1, 2, 7, and 8) are called exterior angles.

15. Parallel Lines Shown are two parallel lines cut by a transversal. Alternate interior angles are the angles formed between two parallel lines on the opposite sides of the transversal that intersects the two lines. Alternate interior angles have equal measures.

16. Parallel Lines Shown are two parallel lines cut by a transversal. Alternate exterior angles are the opposite exterior angles formed by the transversal that intersects two parallel lines. Alternate exterior angles have equal measures.

17. Parallel Lines Shown are two parallel lines cut by a transversal. Corresponding angles consist of one exterior and one interior angle with no common vertex on the same side of the transversal that intersects two parallel lines. Corresponding angles have equal measures.

18. EXAMPLE 6 Finding Angles Formed by a Transversal Find the measures of all the angles shown when the measure of ∠ 2 is 50°.

19. EXAMPLE 6 Finding Angles Formed by a Transversal First, let’s identify the angles that have the same measure as ∠ 2. They are ∠ 3 (vertical angles), ∠ 6 (corresponding angles), and ∠ 7 (alternate exterior angles). Mark all of these as 50° on the diagram. SOLUTION

20. EXAMPLE 6 Finding Angles Formed by a Transversal SOLUTION Since ∠ 1 & ∠ 2 are supplementary, m ∠ 1 = 180° – 50° = 130°. This allows us to find the remaining angles: ∠ 4 is a vertical angle with ∠ 1, so it has measure 130° as well. Now 8 is a corresponding angle with ∠ 4, and ∠ 5 is an alternate interior angle with ∠ 4, which means they both have measure 130° as well. 130°
