angles
when lines intersect they form angles and angles are the space or shape that are formed between the interacting lines-they meet at a name angles by names of points vertex < = angle symbol
perpendicular
lines that form square corners when they intersect they form right angles
right angles
lines that form it are perpendicular and the angle measures 90*
intersection
when lines cross they cross at a point
acute angles
Angles that are less than a right angle; less than 90*
obtuse angle
angles greater than a right angle; greater than 90*
straight angle
two rays pointing in opposite directions
complementary angles
two angle that form a right angle (90*)
supplementary angles
two angles combine to from a straight angle
vertex
the point where two rays meet
degrees
a measerment used to measure angles ( small amout) symbol=*
