Angles and their rules
Lesson Success Criteria Lesson Objective To learn about angles, in relation to points, lines, triangles, and general polygons Lesson Success Criteria Can identify different types of angles, and calculate using appropriate geometric reasoning
Geometric Reasoning The REASON for an answer is the geometric property not the arithmetic that led to the answer ALL answers must have a REASON
Geometric Language Using the correct language is extremely important. Refer to Geometric Glossary on my website. Abbreviated form is ok to use but ensure it is correct.
Angle Rules Rule Short Version Diagram 1 Angles at a point add to 360° 2 Adjacent angles on a straight line add to 180° 3 Vertically opposite angles are equal
Practice From homework book Page 187 Ex A: Finding unknown angles
Triangle Rules Rule Short Version Diagram 4 Angle sum of a triangle add to 180° 5 Exterior angles of a triangle equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles 6 Angles in an equilateral triangle are equal (to 60°)

Complementary Angles Two angles are called complementary angles if they add to 90°, i.e. a right angle. (they don’t need to be adjacent angles)
Supplementary Angles Two angles are called supplementary angles if they add to 180°, i.e. a straight line. (they don’t need to be adjacent angles)
