MTC 121

This document defines and provides examples of different types of angles: - Acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex angles are defined by their degree measures - Adjacent, complementary, and supplementary angles are defined by their relationships to other angles - Vertical angles are angles with a common vertex formed by the same two lines - When lines are crossed by a transversal, it forms interior, exterior, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and corresponding angles.

Kinds of Angles

Acute angle:
An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees. The
following is an acute angle.

Right angle:
An angle whose measure is 90 degrees. The following is a
right angle.

Obtuse angle:
An angle whose measure is bigger than 90 degrees
but less than 180 degrees. Thus, it is between 90
degrees and 180 degrees. The following is an
obtuse angle.

Straight angle
An angle whose measure is 180 degrees.Thus, a straight
angle look like a straight line. The following is a straight
angle.

Reflex angle:
An angle whose measure is bigger than 180 degrees but less
than 360 degrees.The following is a reflex angle.

Adjacent angles:
Angle with a common vertex and one common side. <1 and
<2, are adjacent angles.

Complementary angles:
Two angles whose measures add to 90 degrees. Angle 1 and
angle 2 are complementary angles because together they
form a right angle.
Note that angle 1 and angle 2 do not have to be adjacent to
be complementary as long as they add up to 90 degrees.

Supplementary angles:
Two angles whose measures add to 180 degrees. The
following are supplementary angles.

Vertical angles:
Angles that have a common vertex and whose sides are
formed by the same lines. The following(angle 1 and angle 2)
are vertical angles.

When two parallel lines are crossed by a third


line(Transversal), 8 angles are formed. Take a look at the
following figure.
Angles 3,4,5,8 are interior angles
Angles 1,2,6,7 are exterior angles
Alternate interior angles:
Pairs of interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal.
For instance, angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior
angles. Angle 4 and angle 8 are also alternate interior angles.
Alternate exterior angles:

Pairs of exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal.


Angle 2 and angle 7 are alternate exterior angles.
Corresponding angles:
Pairs of angles that are in similar positions.
Angle 3 and angle 2 are corresponding angles.
Angle 5 and angle 7 are corresponding angles
Here we go! Study the types of angles carefully. This is where
any serious study of geometry begin.

Angle - the space (usually measured in degrees)


between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to
the point where they meet.
Vertex - typically means a corner or a point where lines
meet. For example a square has four corners, each is
called a vertex.
Initial & Terminal Side - One side of the angle is always
fixed along the positive x-axis - that is, going to the right
along the axis in the 3 o'clock direction (line BC). This is
called the initial side of the angle. The other side of
the angle is called the terminal side.
Interior & Exterior Side An exterior angle of a triangle,
or any polygon, is formed by extending one of the sides
of the triangle (or polygon). In a triangle, each exterior
angle has two remote interior angles (see picture
below). The remote interior angles are just the two

angles that are inside the triangle and opposite from the
exterior angle.

A. Degree Measure - A measure of one degree (1) is


equivalent to a rotation of of a complete revolution.
To measureangles, it is convenient to mark degrees on
the circumference of a circle. Thus, a complete
revolution is 360, half a revolution is 180, a quarter of
a revolution is 90 and so forth.
B. Radiant Measure - The measure of an angle is
determined by the amount of rotation from the initial
side to the terminal side. One way to measure angles is
in radians. To define a radian, use a central angle of
a circle (an angle whose vertex is the center of the
circle). One radian is the measure of a central angle that
intercepts an arc s equal in length to the radius r of the
circle.
