What is an Angle?
Two rays that share the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays intersect is called
the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of the angle or arms of the angle.
Example: Here are some examples of angles.
We can specify an angle by using a point on each ray and the vertex. The angle below may be
specified as angle ABC or as angle CBA; you may also see this written as ABC or as CBA.Note how the vertex point is always given in the middle.

Degrees: Measuring Angles
We measure the size of an angle using degrees.
Example: Here are some examples of angles and their degree measurements.
As the Angle Increases, the Name Changes
Type of Angle Description
Acute Angle an angle that is less than 90
Right Angle an angle that is 90 exactly
Obtuse Anglean angle that is greater than 90 but less than
180
Straight Angle an angle that is 180 exactly
Reflex Angle an angle that is greater than 180

Acute Angles
An acute angle is an angle measuring between 0 and 90 degrees.
Example:
The following angles are all acute angles.
Obtuse Angles
An obtuse angle is an angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees.
Example:
The following angles are all obtuse.

Right Angles
A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. Two lines or line segments that meet at a right
angle are said to be perpendicular. Note that any two right angles are supplementary angles (a
right angle is its own angle supplement).
Example:
The following angles are both right angles.

Complementary Angles
Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals 90
degrees (right angle). One of the complementary angles is said to be the complement of the
other.
The two angles do not need to be together or adjacent.
They just need to add up to 90 degrees. If the two complementary angles are adjacent then they
will form a right angle.
ABCis the complement ofCBD
These two angles (40 and 50) are Complementary Angles,
because they add up to 90.
These two are complementary because 27 + 63 = 90

Example: What is the complementary angle of 43o?
Solution: 90o - 43o = 47o
OR
x+ 43o= 90
x = 90 43o
x = 47o
Example:
x andy are complementary angles. Givenx= 35, find the valuey.
Solution:x +y= 90
35 +y= 90
y= 90 35 = 55
Q If two angles are complementary and one of them is 77, what is the size of the other
angle?
(A) 13 (B) 23 (C) 77 (D) 103
Ans (A) 13

Supplementary Angles
Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals 180
degrees. One of the supplementary angles is said to be the supplement of the other.
The two angles do not need to be together or adjacent.
They just need to add up to 180 degrees. If the two supplementary angles are adjacent then they will
form a straight line.
ABCis the supplement ofCBD
These two are supplementary because 60 + 120 = 180
Example: What is the supplementary angle of 43o?
Solution: 180o
- 43o
= 137o
OR
x + 43o= 180
x = 180 43o
x = 137o

Solution: x +y= 180
72 +y= 180
y= 180 72 = 108
Q Two angles are supplementary and one of them is 31 ,What is the size of the other
angle?

Adjacent Angles
Twoanglesare Adjacent if they have a
(a)common side or arm(b)a common vertex (corner point)(c)don't overlap or no common interior points
Angle ABC is adjacent to angle CBD
Because:
they have a common side (line CB) they have a common vertex (point B)

What Is and Isn't an Adjacent Angle
These ARE Adjacent Angles
they share a vertex anda side
NOT Adjacent Angles
they only share a vertex, notaside
NOT Adjacent Angles
they only share a side, notavertex
Don't Overlap! Or No common interior points
ALSO the angles must not overlap.
NOT Adjacent Angles
angles a and b overlap

Straight Angle
A straight angle is 180 degrees
This is a straight angle
A straight angle changes the direction to point the opposite way.
Sometimes people say "You did a complete 180 on that!" ... meaning you completely changed
your mind, idea or direction.
All the angles below are straight angles:
Angles On One Side of A Straight Line
Angles on one side of a straight line will always add to 180 degrees.
If a line is split into 2 and you know one angle you can always find the other one.

30 + 150 = 180
Example: If we know one angle is 45 what is angle "a" ?
Angle a is 180 45 = 135
This method can be used for several angles on one side of a straight line.
Example: What is angle "b" ?
Angle b is simply 180 less the sum of the otherangles.
Sum of known angles = 45 + 39 + 24Sum of known angles = 108
Angle b= 180 108Angle b = 72

Interior Angle
An Interior Angle is an angle inside a shape.
Note: When you add up the Interior Angle and Exterior Angle you get a straight line, 180.
The Interior Angles of a Triangle add up to 180
90 + 60 + 30 = 180 80 + 70 + 30 = 180
It works for this triangle! Let's tilt a line by 10 ...
It still works, because one angle went up by
10, but the other went down by 10
Alternate Interior Angles
For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the
diagram below, angle A and angle D are called alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles
have the same degree measurement. Angle B and angle C are also alternate interior angles.

Exterior Angle
The Exterior Angle is the angle between any side of a shape, and a line extendedfrom the next side.
Note: When you add up the Interior Angle and Exterior Angle you get a straight line, 180.
Alternate Exterior Angles
For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the
diagram below, angle A and angle D are called alternate exterior angles. Alternate exteriorangles have the same degree measurement. Angle B and angle C are also alternate exterior
angles.

Corresponding Angles
For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the
diagram below, angle A and angle C are called corresponding angles. Corresponding angles have
the same degree measurement. Angle B and angle D are also corresponding angles.
A Linear Pair is 2 adjacent angles whose non-common sides
form opposite rays. The angles MUST be adjacent.

Angle Bisector
An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal angles.
Example:
The blue ray on the right is the angle bisector of the angle on the left.
The red ray on the right is the angle bisector of the angle on the left.
Perpendicular Lines
Two lines that meet at a right angle are perpendicular.
These lines intersect and form four right
angles. They are perpendicular lines.

These two lines are parallel, and are cut by a transversal. Eight angles appear, in four
corresponding pairs that have the same measure, so therefore are congruent.
These four corresponding pairs are:
angles a and e angles candg angles b and f angles dand h
The angles that lie in the interior area, or the area between the two lines that are cut by thetransversal, are called interior angles.
Interior angles are c, d, e and f
The angles that lie in the exterior area, that are cut by the transversal, are called interior
angles.
Exterior angles are a, b, g, and h
Angles on opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate angles.
Angles cand f, and dand e, are alternate interior angles.
Angles a and h, and b and g, are alternate exterior angles.
Note that these alternate pairs are also congruent.
