Adjacent angles are two coplanar angles that have a common side but no common interior points. Postulate 4.3 Angle Addition Postulate. If K lies in the interior of ∠MNP. Then m∠MNP = m∠MNK + m∠KNP.
Ex #1 Find m ∠ XYZ if m ∠ XYT = 25° and m ∠ TYZ = 15° According to the Angle Addition Postulate : m ∠ XYZ = m ∠ XYT + m ∠ TYZ By substitution: m ∠ XYZ = (25°) + (15°) m ∠ XYZ = 40° Y X T Z
Ex #2 Find m ∠ DBC if m ∠ ABC = 105° and m ∠ ABD = 35° According to the Angle Addition Postulate : m ∠ ABC = m ∠ ABD + m ∠ DBC By substitution: (105°) = (35°) + m ∠ DBC - 35° -35° - 35° -35° 70 ° = m ∠ DBC 70 ° = m ∠ DBC B D A C
An angle bisector is a ray that (except for its origin)is in the interior of an angle and forms congruent adjacent angles. If YT is the angle bisector of ∠XYZ what can we say about angles ∠XYT and ∠TYZ? ∠XYT ≅∠TYZ So… m m m m∠XYT =m∠TYZ By the angle addition postulate we know that m∠XYZ = m∠XYT +m∠TYZ By substitution we have: m∠XYZ = (m∠TYZ )+m∠TYZ Thus, m∠XYZ = 2m∠TYZ or ½m∠XYZ = m∠TYZ Y X T Z
Ex #3 If YT is the angle bisector of ∠XYZ and m∠XYZ = 98° what is m∠XYT? Ex #4 If RH is the angle bisector of ∠MRD and m∠MRH = 23° what is m∠MRD?
Ex#5 Find the measure between the bisector of a straight angle and one of the original rays of the straight angle. Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect to form right angles.
