ANGLES
ANGLES
Angle - a figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common
endpoint
Complementary Angles - when the sum of two angles is 90°
Adjacent angles - two angles that are side by side and share a common vertex
and a common side.
Vertical angles - angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect each
other. The two pairs of opposite angles are equal to each other.
Supplementary angles - those angles that sum up to 180 degrees. For example,
angle 130° and angle 50° are supplementary angles because sum of 130° and
50° is equal to 180°.
Linear pair - can be defined as two adjacent angles that add up to 180° or two
angles which when combined together form a line or a straight angle.
Exterior angles - angles that are parallel to the inner angles of a polygon but lie on
the outside of it.
Interior angles - the angles that lie inside a shape, are said to be interior angles, or
the angles that lie in the area bounded between two parallel lines that are
intersected by a transversal.
Adjacent interior angle - the angle who shares a side and a vertex with a given
exterior angle.
Protractor - a device used in drafting and drawing: it's mainly used for drawing and
measuring angles.
Convex polygon - is any shape that has all interior angles that measure less than
180 degrees. A convex polygon will also have all diagonal connecting lines be
contained within the shape and have no vertices that point inward.
Non-convex - If one or more of the interior angles is more than 180 degrees the
polygon.
