Welcome everyone! Today, we'll explore supplementary angles, which are two angles that add up to 180 degrees. Can anyone tell me what that means?
Is that like when a line is cut by another line?
Exactly! That's a great observation, Student_1. If we have a straight line, and a ray divides it, those two resulting angles are supplementary. For instance, if angle A is 60 degrees, can someone tell me what angle B would be?
It would be 120 degrees, right? Because 180 minus 60 is 120.
Correct! Remember this key formula: Angle A + Angle B = 180 degrees. Letโs use the memory aid 'S' for supplementary to remember this concept.
So, if I have angles of 80 degrees, Angle B would be what again?
Great question, Student_3! Angle B would be 180 - 80, which gives you 100 degrees. To recap, supplementary angles always sum to 180 degrees.

Now, letโs move to angles at a point. When multiple rays start from the same point, all the angles they form add up to 360 degrees. Can anyone give me an example?
If I have one angle thatโs 90 degrees and another thatโs 120 degrees, can we find the last angle?
Exactly! So if angle A is 90 degrees and angle B is 120 degrees, how would we calculate angle C?
We would do 360 - 90 - 120.
Very good! What does that give us?
That would be 150 degrees!
Perfect! Remember, all angles at a point must sum to 360 degrees. Thatโs the key takeaway!

Next, letโs talk about vertically opposite angles. What happens when two lines intersect?
They create pairs of angles that are equal!
Yes! If one angle measures 40 degrees, how much does its opposite measure?
It will also be 40 degrees!
Correct again! And what about the other two angles formed?
They would be 140 degrees each since theyโre supplementary to the 40-degree angles.
Exactly! So to summarize, when lines intersect, vertically opposite angles are equal, while angles on the same side are supplementary.

Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, we explore basic angle relationships such as supplementary angles (angles on a straight line summing to 180 degrees), angles at a point (summation to 360 degrees), and the equality of vertically opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. Understanding these concepts establishes a foundation for solving more complex geometric problems.

Detailed Summary of Basic Angle Relationships
In geometry, angles provide crucial insights into the properties of shapes and figures. Understanding basic angle relationships is essential for both theoretical and practical applications. This section highlights several key relationships:
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that add up to 180 degrees. When a straight line is divided by a ray, the angles formed on each side of the ray are supplementary. For instance, if Angle A measures 60ยฐ, then Angle B can be calculated as 180ยฐ - 60ยฐ = 120ยฐ.
- Angles at a Point: The angles formed around a point add up to 360 degrees. If multiple rays originate from a single point, their collective measure equals 360ยฐ. For example, if Angle A is 90ยฐ and Angle B is 120ยฐ, Angle C can be calculated as 360ยฐ - 90ยฐ - 120ยฐ = 150ยฐ.
- Vertically Opposite Angles: When two lines intersect, they create pairs of vertically opposite angles. These angles are always equal; thus, if one angle measures 40ยฐ, the opposite angle also measures 40ยฐ. The other two angles will then each measure 140ยฐ.
These fundamental relationships are not only foundational for geometrical understanding but are also applicable in real-world contexts, such as architecture and engineering.

Angles on a Straight Line

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book
โ Angles on a Straight Line (Supplementary Angles): Angles that add up to 180 degrees. If a straight line is divided by a ray emanating from a point on the line, the two angles formed sum to 180 degrees.
โ Formula: Angle A + Angle B = 180 degrees
โ Example: If angle A = 60 degrees, then angle B = 180 - 60 = 120 degrees.
Detailed Explanation
When two angles are formed by a straight line and a ray, they are called supplementary angles. Together, they always add up to 180 degrees. For example, if you have one angle measuring 60 degrees, you can easily find the other angle by subtracting this from 180, which gives you 120 degrees. This principle is very useful for solving problems involving straight angles.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a straight line as a seesaw. The two angles formed by the seesaw's pivot represent two forces acting on it. For the seesaw to balance perfectly without tipping, the two angles must complement each other to make a full 180 degrees, just like how two people might sit at equal weights on either side.
Angles Around a Point

โ Angles Around a Point (Angles at a Point): Angles that add up to 360 degrees. If several rays emanate from a single point, the sum of all angles formed around that point is 360 degrees.
โ Formula: Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 360 degrees
โ Example: If angle A = 90 degrees and angle B = 120 degrees, then angle C = 360 - 90 - 120 = 150 degrees.
Detailed Explanation
When multiple rays are based at the same point and create angles, these angles together sum up to 360 degrees. This is analogous to completing a full circle. For example, if you have one angle of 90 degrees and another of 120 degrees, the third angle must compensate for the remaining degrees to complete the full circle, which comes to 150 degrees in this case.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're at the center of a pizza and you've taken three slices (representing angles A, B, and C). As you finish your third slice, you realize all angles around you must add up to a full pizza or circleโ360 degrees. You can see that each angle represents a part of the whole, ensuring that Nothing goes to waste!
Vertically Opposite Angles

โ Vertically Opposite Angles: When two straight lines intersect, they form two pairs of vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal.
โ Diagram: Imagine an 'X' shape. The angles opposite each other are equal.
โ Example: If two lines intersect and one angle is 40 degrees, the angle directly opposite it is also 40 degrees. The other two angles are each (180 - 40) = 140 degrees, and they are also vertically opposite and thus equal.
Detailed Explanation
When two lines cross each other, they form pairs of angles. The angles that are directly across from one another (opposite angles) are always the same size. This characteristic of vertically opposite angles is handy for solving various geometry problems. For instance, if one of the vertically opposite angles is 40 degrees, the angle opposite it will also be 40 degrees.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a pair of scissors. When you open them, the way they intersect forms anglesโjust like lines. The angles that appear directly across from each other remain perfectly balanced and equal, much like how each blade of the scissors provides equal force, ensuring the whole system works smoothly.
