Two lines in a plane can be either parallel or
intersecting. Parallel lines never meet.
Intersecting lines meet at a point. The symbol
is used to denote “is parallel to.”

When two lines intersect, four angles are formed.
Two of these angles that are opposite each other
are called vertical angles. Vertical angles have the

Linear Measurement
The U.S. system of measurement uses the
inch, foot, yard, and mile to measure length.
47
Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed
To convert from one unit of length to
another, unit fractions may be used. A unit
fraction is a fraction that equals 1.

The most commonly used measurements of
length in the metric system are the meter,
millimeter, centimeter, and kilometer.
51
Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed
As with the U.S. system of measurement,
unit fractions may be used to convert from
one unit of length to another. The major
advantage of the metric system is the ease
of converting from one unit of length to
another. Since all units of length are powers
of 10 of the meter, converting from one unit
of length to another is as simple as moving
the decimal point.
52
Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed
Listing units of length in order from largest
to smallest helps keep track of how many
places to move the decimal point when
converting.

Mass
In scientific and technical areas, a careful
distinction is made between weight and mass.
Weight is really a measure of the pull of
gravity. The farther from Earth an object gets,
the less it weighs. Mass is a measure of the
amount of substance in the object and does
not change. Astronauts orbiting Earth weigh
much less than they weigh on Earth, but they
have the same mass in orbit as they do on
Earth.

The basic unit of mass in the metric system is the
gram. It is defined as the mass of water contained
in a cube 1 centimeter (cm) on each side.

milligram, the gram, and the kilogram.

Capacity
Units of capacity are generally used to
measure liquids. The number of gallons of
gasoline needed to fill a gas tank in a car,
the number of cups of water needed in a
bread recipe, and the number of quarts of
milk sold each day at a supermarket are all
examples of using units of capacity.

The prefixes for metric units of capacity are

The two most commonly used units of
capacity in the metric system are the
milliliter and the liter.
