Lesson 1-6

Identifying Angle Pairs

There are some angle pairs that have special names.
Vertical angles are two angles that are formed by intersecting lines
and are opposite each other on the point of intersection.

Adjacent angles are two angles that are coplanar, and they have a
common side, a common vertex, and no common interior points.

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures have a sum of

90.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures have a sum of

180.

Lesson 2-1
Conditionals and Converses
A conditional is an if-then statement. The part of the statement
following the if is the hypothesis, and the part follow the then is the
conclusion.
For example, in the statement If something is a square, then it has
four sides, the hypothesis would be something is a square and the
conclusion would be it had four sides.
In the converse of a conditional, the hypothesis and conclusion are
switched.
The converse of If something is a square, then it has four sides
would be If something has four sides, then it is a square.
Conditionals and their converses can have a truth value of true or
false.
The conditional If something is a square, then it has four sides is
true.
Its converse, If something has four sides, then it is a square, is
false, because a counterexample for the converse could be a rectangle.

Lesson 2-2
Writing a Biconditional

If a conditional statement and its converse are both true, then they
can be combined into a single statement called a biconditional.
Take this conditional and its converse for example:
If two angles measures have a sum of 90, then they are
complementary.
If two angles are complementary, then their measures have a sum
of 90.
Since both the conditional and its converse are true, you can write
them as a biconditional. This can be done by using the phrase if and
only if in place of the words if and then.
The result would be:
Two angles are complementary if and only if their measures have a
sum of 90.

Lesson 1-4
Naming Segments and Rays

Segments are a part of a line that consists of two endpoints and all of
the points between them.
A ray is a part of a line that consists of one endpoint, and all of the
other points on one side of the endpoint.
Opposite rays are two collinear rays that have the same endpoint.

Lesson 2-3
Using the Law of Syllogism
Deductive reasoning is reasoning logically to get a conclusion from
given statements.
The Law of Syllogism is one law of deductive reasoning. Using the
Law of Syllogism, you can arrive to a true conclusion using two true
conditional statements, where the hypothesis of one statement is the
conclusion of the other statement.
You can use the Law of Syllogism to draw a conclusion from these
two statements:

If you want go to the store, then you need to go to town.

If you need to go to town, then you have to take the car.
You can draw the following conclusion:

If you want to go to the store, then you have to take the car.
You can also think of using the Law of Syllogism as cancelling out
the repeating phrases, and writing down what remains.

If you want go to the store, then you need to go to town.

If you need to go to town, then you have to take the car.

Lesson 1-5
Using the Segment Addition Postulate

A postulate is an accepted statement or fact.

The Segment Addition Postulate states:
If three points A, B, and C are collinear and B is between A and C,
then AB + BC = AC.

Using the Segment Addition Postulate:

If XZ = 50, find the value of x.
4x 10

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

XY+ YZ= XZ
(4x-10) + (x+5) = 50
5x-5=50
5x=55
x=11

x+5

Segment Addition Postulate.

Substitute.
Simplify.
Add 5 to each side.
Divide each side by 5.
