Vocabulary Parallel lines Transversal Supplementary angles Complementary angles Vertical Angles Adjacent angles. Alternate exterior angels Alternate interior angles Same side interior angles Corresponding angles Straight Angles Linear pair
Parallel Lines ǁ - two or more lines that lie on the same plane and never intersect; l and m Transversal - a line that intersects two or more lines on the same plane; n l m n
Interior Exterior
Vertical Angles - two opposite angles formed when two lines intersect; ∠ 1 & 4 ∠ 2 & 3 ∠ 5 &8 ∠ 6 & 7 Vertical angles are congruent
Alternate Exterior Angles - two angles on the opposite side of the transversal- outside; ∠ 1 & 8 ∠ 2 & 7 Alternate Exterior Angles are congruent
Alternate Interior Angles - two angles on the opposite side of the transversal- inside; ∠ 3 & 6 ∠ 4 & 5 Alternate Interior Angles are congruent
Corresponding Angles - angles on the same side of the transversal, in the same position of the parallel lines; ∠ 1 & 5 ∠ 3 & 7 ∠ 2 & 6 ∠ 4 & 8 Corresponding angles are congruent
Same Side Interior Angles - two angles on the same side of the transversal-inside; ∠ 3 & 5 ∠ 4 & 6 Same Side Interior Angles are Supplementary angles equaling 180°
Straight Angle – an angle that measures 180°
Supplementary Angles - the sum of two angles that measures 180°; Also Adjacent Angles because they share a common vertex 65° 115°
Complementary Angles – a right angle / the sum of two angles that measures 90°; 45°
Angle Measurement ∠ 1 = 60° ∠ 2 = 120° ∠ 3 = 120° ∠ 4 = 60° ∠ 5 = 60° ∠ 6 = 120° ∠ 7 = 120° ∠ 8 = 60° 60° 120°
