Be sure to label your angles correctly. Use the symbol for angle, ∠, when naming angles and when stating the measure of an angle, use m∠ABC = 25º.
Be sure to label your angles correctly. Use the symbol for angle, ∠, when naming angles and when stating the measure of an angle, use m∠ABC = 25º.
Describe angle pair relationships and calculate angle measures.


Complementary Angles: Two angles whose sum equals 90º.
Supplementary Angles: Two angles whose sum equals 180º.
Adjacent Angles: Two angles who share a side and a vertex.
Linear Pair: Adjacent angles that form a straight line, sum is 180º.
Vertical Angles: Congruent angles across from each other, formed by two intersecting lines.
