Measuring Angles / Exploring angle pairs Flashcards
A ___ is formed by two rays with the same endpoint
Angle
You name an angle by it’s:
- vertex ( and A)
- a point on each ray and the vertex ( angle BAC)
- A number ( angle 1 )
Angles are classified by their ___
Measures
0< x < 90
Acute angle
X= 90
Right angle
X<90<180
Obtuse
X=180
Straight angle
___ are used to show that two angles are congruent
Arc marks
Complementary angles
2 angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees; each angle is called the complement of the other
Supplementary angle
Two angles whose measures have a sum of 180 degrees; each angle is called the supplement of the other
Adjacent angles
Two coplanar angles with a common side , a common vertex, and no common interior points ( angles that are next to each other )
Vertical angles
Two angles whose sides are opposite rays. They are always congruent angles .
Linear pair
A pair of adjacent angles whose noncommom sides are opposite rays ( form a line )
Linear pair postulate
If two angles flat. Linear pair ,them they are supplementary
