CHAPTER 1:Tools of Geometry Section 1-6: Measuring Angles
Objectives • To find the measures of angles. • To identify special pairs of angles.
Vocabulary • Angle • Acute Angle • Right Angle • Obtuse Angle • Straight Angle • Congruent Angles • Vertical Angles • Adjacent Angles • Complementary Angles • Supplementary Angles
Angle • An angle is formed by two rays with the same endpoint. • The rays are the “sides” of the angle. • The common endpoint is the “vertex.”
Ways to name an angle: • Using only the vertex. • However, we can only do this if there is only one angle with that vertex. • Using three points. • When we do this, the vertex must be listed in the middle. • Using the assigned number.
Classifying Angles • Acute Angle- an angle less than 90 degrees. • Right Angle- an angle that is exactly 90 degrees. • Obtuse Angle- an angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees but less that 180 degrees. • Straight Angle- an angle that is exactly 180 degrees.
Congruent Angles • Angles with the same measure are congruent angles.
Postulate 1-8:“The Angle Addition Postulate” • If point B is in the interior of RAOC then: • mRAOB + mRBOC = mRAOC
Vertical Angles • Vertical angles are two angles whose sides are opposite rays.
Adjacent Angles • Adjacent angles are two coplanar angles with a common side, common vertex, but no common interior points.
Complementary Angles • Complementary angles are two angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees. • Each angle is called the “compliment” of the other.
Supplementary Angles • Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures have a sum of 180 degrees. • Each angle is called the “supplement” of the other.
Identifying Angle Pairs • Identify the pairs of numbered angles that are related as follows: • Complementary • Supplementary • Vertical • Adjacent
Making Conclusions from Diagrams • We can always conclude the following: • Adjacent angles • Adjacent supplementary angles • Vertical angles • We cannot assume unless we are told: • Angles (or segments) are congruent • An angle is a right angle • Lines are parallel • Lines are perpendicular
Making Conclusions: True or False? • R1 and R4 are vertical? • R1 and R5 are supplementary? • R3 is a right angle? • R2 and R3 are adjacent? • R1 and R2 are congruent?
