Lines and Angles (Module 4)

G-CO.3.9

This activity gives students the opportunity to observe theorems [which] include: Vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent; points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are [exactly those] equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.

REMEMBER:

Complementary angles are angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees. Supplementary angles are angles whose measures have a sum of 180 degrees.

DEFINITION

DEFINITION
A linear pair is defined as angles having a common side, and whose noncommon sides form opposite rays. In the diagram above, Angle 1 and Angle 2 form a linear pair. When angles share a common side, they are adjacent.

In this diagram, which ray is the common side for the adjacent angles and ?

DEFINITION

DEFINITION
Vertical angles - nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. (Read: vertical angles do not have a common side)

In the diagram below, click and drag points A and C to change the measures of the angles.
