LINES AND ANGLES

Lines and Line Segments

 A line segment has finite length and has two fixed end points.
 A line has infinite length and has no end points.
 So if we extend the two end points in either direction endlessly, we get a line.
 A ray is different from both line segment and line as it has one end
point(starting point).
Angles
 An Angle is obtained when lines or line segments meet.
Types of Angles
 Complementary Angles => sum of measures of two angles = 90 (each
angle is called complement)

 Supplementary Angles => sum of measures of two angles = 180 (each

angle is called supplement)

 Adjacent Angles => Adjacent angles have a common

vertex and a
common arm but no common interior points.
Linear Pair
 A pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
 A pair of linear pair gives a pair of supplementary angles.
 Vertically Opposite Angles

 When two lines intersect the , vertically opposite angles formed

are equal.
