The Shape of Design

2. Recap Geometrical Terms
An exact location on a plane is called a point.
Point
A straight path on a plane, extending in both directions with no endpoints, is called a line.
Line
A part of a line that has two endpoints and thus has a definite length is called a line segment.
Line segment
A line segment extended indefinitely in one direction is called a ray.
Ray

3. If we look around us, we will see angles everywhere.
Angles In Daily Life
If we look around us, we will see angles everywhere.

4. Ray BA and BC are two non-collinear rays
What Is An Angle ?
When two non-collinear rays join with a common endpoint (origin) an angle is formed. A
Ray BA B
Common endpoint B C
Ray BC
Common endpoint is called the vertex of the angle. B is the vertex of ÐABC.
Ray BA and BC are two non-collinear rays
Ray BA and ray BC are called the arms of ABC.

5. Fact: We can also think of an angle formed by rotating one
ray away from its initial position.

6. Naming An Angle A B C For example: ÐABC or ÐCBA
To name an angle, we name any point on one ray, then the vertex, and then any point on the other ray. A B C
For example: ÐABC or ÐCBA
We may also name this angle only by the single letter of the vertex, for example ÐB.

7. Interior And Exterior Of An Angle
An angle divides the points on the plane into three regions:
Points lying on the angle (An angle) A B C P T X F R
Points within the angle (Its interior portion. )
Points outside the angle (Its exterior portion. )

8. Measurement Of An Angle Protractor is used to measure and draw angles.
Angles are accurately measured in degrees.

9. There are four main types of angles.
Right angle
Acute angle
Obtuse angle A B C A B C A B C
Straight angle B A C

19. Congruent Angles A B C D E F D E F
Two angles that have the same measure are called congruent angles. A B C
300 D E F
300 D E F
300
Congruent angles have the same size and shape.

20. Pairs Of Angles : Types Adjacent angles Complimentary angles
Supplementary angles
Linear pairs of angles

21. Adjacent Angles ABC and DEF are not adjacent angles
Two angles that have a common vertex and a common ray are called adjacent angles. C D B A
Common ray
Common vertex D E F A B C
Adjacent Angles ABD and DBC
ABC and DEF are not adjacent angles
Adjacent angles do not overlap each other.

22. ÐABC and ÐDEF are complimentary because
Complimentary Angles
If the sum of two angles is 900, then they are called complimentary angles.
600 A B C
300 D E F
ÐABC and ÐDEF are complimentary because
ÐABC + ÐDEF
= 900

23. ÐDEF and ÐPQR are not complimentary because
Contd….
If the sum of two angles is more than 900 or less than 900, then they not complimentary angles.
700 D E F
300 p Q R
ÐDEF and ÐPQR are not complimentary because
ÐDEF + ÐPQR
= 1000

24. ÐPQR and ÐABC are supplementary, because
Supplementary Angles
If the sum of two angles is 1800 then they are called supplementary angles. R Q P A B C
1000
800
ÐPQR and ÐABC are supplementary, because
ÐPQR + ÐABC
= 1800

25. ÐDEF and ÐPQR are not supplementary because
Contd….
If the sum of two angles is more than or less than 1800, then they are not supplementary angles. C B A
1100 D E F
800
ÐDEF and ÐPQR are not supplementary because
ÐABC + ÐDEF
= 1900

26. Two adjacent supplementary angles are called linear pair of angles.
