Solve Problems Using Angle Relationships

Lesson Goals are to be able to:
  • find the measure of angle using angle relationships
  • recognize the relationship between different angles fromed by lines and rays
Angles are made up of two sides, that can be formed by line segments or rays. The point where the two join together is called the vertex.

Angles are called using three letters or a number.
There are three main types of angles:
  • acute angles are less than 90º
  • obtuse angles are between greater than 90º, but less than 180º
  • right angles are equal to 90º

Plus we have four basic angle relationships
  • Complementary angles add up to equal 90º
  • Supplementary angles add up to equal 180º
  • Adjacent angles share a common ray or line segment, because they are next to each other
  • Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines
An angle relationship is formed between two angles.
