Triangles/Angles Flashcards
What happens when two lines intersect?
they formed two vertical angles.
what is the angle sum property of a triangle?
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180°.
How do you find a missing angle in a triangle if you know the other two angles?
Subtract the sum of the two known angles from 180° to find the missing angle.
What are vertical angles?
Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always congruent (equal).
If two intersecting lines form a pair of adjacent angles that add up to 180°, what are these angles called?
These angles are called supplementary angles because they add up to 180°.
In a right triangle, what is the measure of the non-right angles?
The two non-right angles in a right triangle must add up to 90° because the total sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.
If two angles in a triangle are 50° and 60°, what is the measure of the third angle?
The third angle is 70°, because 50° + 60° = 110°, and 180° - 110° = 70°.
What are adjacent angles?
Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex.
