Points, lines, and planes are the building blocks of geometry. Segments, rays, and angles are defined in terms of these basic figures.

A point names a location. A Point A

A line is perfectly straight and extends forever in both directions. line l, or BC B C l

A plane is a perfectly flat surface that extends forever in all directions. plane P, or plane DEF D E F P

G H A segment, or line segment, is the part of a line between two points. GH

K J A ray is a part of a line that starts at one point and extends forever in one direction. KJ

A. Name 4 points in the figure. B. Name a line in the figure. Point J, point K, Point L, and Point M Any 2 points on a line can be used. KL or JK Example

C. Name a plane in the figure. Plane, plane JKL Any 3 points in the plane that form a triangle can be used. Example

D. Name four segments in the figure. E. Name four rays in the figure. KJ, KL, JK, LK JK, KL, LM, JM Example

An angle () is formed by two rays with a common endpoint called the vertex (plural, vertices). Angles can be measured in degrees. One degree, or 1°, is of a circle. m1 means the measure of 1. The angle can be named XYZ, ZYX, 1, or Y. The vertex must be the middle letter X Y Z 1 m1 = 50°

The measures of angles that fit together to form a straight line, such as FKG, GKH, and HKJ, add to 180°. F K J G H

The measures of angles that fit together to form a complete circle, such as MRN, NRP, PRQ, and QRM, add to 360°. P R Q M N

A right angle measures 90°. An acute angle measures less than 90°. An obtuse angle measures greater than 90° and less than 180°. Complementary angles have measures that add to 90°. Supplementary angles have measures that add to 180°.

A right angle can be labeled with a small box at the vertex. Reading Math

A. Name a right angle in the figure. B. Name two acute angles in the figure. TQS TQP, RQS Example

C. Name two obtuse angles in the figure. SQP, RQT Example

D. Name a pair of complementary angles. TQP, RQS mTQP + mRQS = 47° + 43° = 90° Example

E. Name two pairs of supplementary angles. TQP, RQT SQP, RQS mTQP + mRQT = 47° + 133° = 180° mSQP + mRQS = 137° + 43° = 180° Example

Congruent figures have the same size and shape. Segments that have the same length are congruent. Angles that have the same measure are congruent. The symbol for congruence is , which is read “is congruent to.” Intersecting lines form two pairs of vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent, as shown in the next example.

In the figure, 1 and 3 are vertical angles, and 2 and 4 are vertical angles. A. If m1 = 37°, find m3. The measures of 1 and 2 add to 180° because they are supplementary, so m2 = 180° – 37° = 143°. The measures of 2 and 3 add to 180° because they are supplementary, so m3 = 180° – 143° = 37°. Example

In the figure,  1 and  3 are vertical angles, and  2 and  4 are vertical angles. B. If m4 = y°, find m2. m  3 = 180° – y° m  2 = 180° – (180° – y°) = 180° – 180° + y° = y° Distributive Property m2 = m4 Example

In the figure, 1 and 3 are vertical angles, and 2 and 4 are vertical angles. A. If m1 = 42°, find m3. The measures of  1 and  2 add to 180° because they are supplementary, so m  2 = 180° – 42° = 138°. The measures of  2 and  3 add to 180° because they are supplementary, so m  3 = 180° – 138° = 42° Try This

In the figure, 1 and 3 are vertical angles, and 2 and 4 are vertical angles. B. If m4 = x°, find m2. m  3 = 180° – x° m  2 = 180° – (180° – x°) = 180° –180° + x° = x° Distributive Property m2 = m Try This
