In this section, we revisit key geometric concepts such as line segments, rays, and various types of angles including acute, obtuse, and complementary angles. Definitions of collinear points, adjacent angles, linear pairs, and vertically opposite angles are also explored, laying a foundation for understanding the properties of lines and angles.
In this section, we focus on fundamental geometric terms that serve as the building blocks in the study of lines and angles. We start by defining:
We also introduce key concepts such as collinear points, which refer to three or more points lying on the same line, while non-collinear points do not. The section covers the definition of an angle formed when two rays meet at a vertex. Different types of angles are classified as follows: - Acute Angle: 0Β° < angle < 90Β° - Right Angle: angle = 90Β° - Obtuse Angle: 90Β° < angle < 180Β° - Straight Angle: angle = 180Β° - Reflex Angle: 180Β° < angle < 360Β°
Additionally, we explore the relationships between angles, defining complementary angles (sum equals 90Β°) and supplementary angles (sum equals 180Β°). Concepts such as adjacent angles (sharing a common vertex and arm) and linear pairs (two adjacent angles summing to 180Β°) are defined, alongside vertically opposite angles, which occur at the intersection of two lines. Understanding these basic terms and definitions is crucial for grasping more complex geometric principles in upcoming chapters.
Line Segment: A finite part of a line with two endpoints.
Ray: A part of a line with one endpoint extending infinitely in one direction.
Collinear Points: Points that lie on the same line.
Adjacent Angles: Angles that share a common vertex and arm.
Complementary Angles: Two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
Acute angles are sharp like a knife, less than 90 is their life!
Imagine two friends, Ray and Segment, meeting at a point, they decide how far they'll go: Segment to a stop, and Ray forever onward!
Use 'CAS' for angles: C = Complementary, A = Acute, S = Supplementary to remember their types!
A line segment connecting points A(2, 3) and B(5, 6) has endpoints A and B.
Complementary angles could be a 30Β° angle and a 60Β° angle, totaling 90Β°.
