Lines
• Line segment AB is formed by joining two points A and B together (endpoints)
• Line is formed when line segment is extended in both directions indefinitely
• Rays are lines which have only one endpoint and extend indefinitely in only one direction
• Two lines/ line segments intersect when they have a common point i.e. they cross each other
Example: Identify the points and different kinds of lines in the diagram below.

B
Planes
• A flat surface in which any two points are joined by a line that lies entirely on the surface
B. Angles HBL:

Complementary angles
Two angles are complementary if they add up to 90o.
∠a + ∠b
= 50° + 40°
a = 90°
b
Therefore ∠a and ∠b are complementary angles.
Example:
The following diagrams show pairs of complementary angles. Find the value of θ in each case.
47°
θ 51.5°

Supplementary angles
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to 180o.
∠a + ∠b
= 60° + 120°
= 180°
124°

Angle Properties
When 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
(Property 4) the corresponding angles are equal
Write: (corr. ∠s, // lines) or (corr. ∠s)
