Do you know whenever an architect has to draw a plan for buildings, towers, bridges
etc., the architect has to draw many lines and parallel lines at different angles.
In science say in Optics, we use lines and angles to assume and draw the movement of
light and hence the images are formed by reflection, refraction and scattering. Similarly while
finding how much work is done by different forces acting on a body, we consider angles between
force and displacement to find resultants. To find the height of a place we need both angles and
lines. So in our daily life, we come across situations in which the basic ideas of geometry are in
much use.

DO THIS

Observe your surroundings carefully and write any three situations of your daily life
where you can observe lines and angles.
Draw the pictures in your note book and collect some pictures.

4.2 BASIC TERMS IN GEOMETRY

EOMETRY

Think of a light beam originating from the sun or a

torch light. How do you represent such a light beam?
It’s a ray starting from the sun. Recall that “a ray is a
part of a line. It begins at a point and goes on endlessly in a specified direction. While line can be
extended in both directions endlessly.
A part of a line with two end points is known as line segment.
We usually denote a line segment AB by AB and its length in denoted by AB. The ray
! " ! " ! " !
AB is denoted by AB and a line is denoted by AB . However we normally use AB , PQ for
etc. lines and some times small letters l, m, n etc. will also be used to denote lines.
If three or more points lie on the same line, they are called collinear points, otherwise
they are called non-collinear points.
Sekhar marked some points on a line and try to count the line segments formed by them.
(Note PQ and QP represents the same line segment)
S.No. Points on line Line Segments Number
1. P R Q PQ, PR, RQ 3

2. P S R Q PQ, PR, PS, SR, SQ, RQ 6

3. P S T R Q .............................................

Do you find any pattern between the number of points and line segments?
Take some more points on the line and find the pattern:

An angle is formed when two rays
originate from the same point. The rays
making an angle are called arms of the
angle and the common point is called
vertex of the angle. You have studied
different types of angles, such as acute
angle, right angle, obtuse angle, straight acute angle : 0°< x <90° right angle : y = 90°
angle and reflex angle in your earlier
classes.

obtuse angle : 90° < z < 180° straight angle : s = 180° reflex angle : 180° < t < 360°

(i) (ii)
What is the sum of the two angles shown in each figure? It is 900. Do you know what do
we call such pairs of angles? They are called complementary angles.
If a given angle is x0, then what is its complementary angle? The complementary angle of
x0 is (900- x0).

Example-1. If the measure of an angle is 62°, what is the measure of its complementary angle?
Solution : As the sum is 90°, the complementary angle of 62° is 90° - 62° = 28°
Now observe the following figures and find the sum of angles in each figure.

140° 120° 60°

What is the sum of the two angles shown in each figure? It is 1800. Do you know what
do we call such pair of angles? Yes, they are called supplementary angles. If the given angle is x0,
then what is its supplementary angle ? The supplementary angle of x0 is (180° - x°).

Example-2. Two complementary angles are in the ratio 4:5. Find the angles.
Solution : Let the required angles be 4x and 5x.
Then 4x + 5x = 900 (Why?)
9x = 900 ! x = 100
Hence the required angles are 400 and 500.
Now observe the pairs of angles such as (120°, 240°) (100°, 260°) (180°, 180°) (50°,
310°) ..... etc. What do you call such pairs? The pair of angles, whose sum is 360° are called
conjugate angles. Can you say the conjugate angle of 270°? What is the conjuage angle of x°?

In figure (i) we can observe that vertex ‘O’ and arm ‘ OB ’ are common to both 1 and
2. What can you say about the non-common arms and how are they arranged? They are
arranged on either side of the common arm. What do you call such pairs of angles?

They are called a pair of adjacent angles.

In fig.(ii), two angles 1 and 2 are given. They have neither a common arm nor a
common vertex. So they are not adjacent angles.

common arm and non common arms lie on either side of common arm are called adjacent angles.
Observe the given figure. The hand of the athlete
is making angles with the Javelin. What kind of angles
are they? Obviously they are adjacent angles. Further
what will be the sum of those two angles? Because they
are on a straight line, the sum of the angles is 1800. What
do we call such pair of angles? They are called linear
pair. So if the sum of two adjacent angles is 1800, they
are said to be a linear pair.

Linear pair of angles are always supplementary. But supplementary angles need

Construction : Produce BC to a point D
Through ‘C’ draw a line CE parallel to BA
Proof :
BA||CE [By construction]
ABC= ECD .....(1) [By corresponding angles axiom.]
BAC = ACE .....(2) [Alternate interior angles for the parallel lines
AB and CE]
ACB = ACB .....(3) [Same angle]
ABC + BAC + ACB = [Adding the above three equations]
ECD + ACE + ACB
But ECD + ACE + ACB = 1800 [angles on a straight line]
% ABC + BAC + ACB = 1800
A+ B+ C = 1800

You know that when a side of a triangle is produced there forms an exterior angle of the
triangle
When side QR is produced to point S, PRS is P

called an exterior angle of 0PQR.

Is PRQ + PRS = 180°? (Why?) .....(1)
Q S
Also, see that R

PRQ + PQR + QPR = 180° (Why?) .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we can see that PRQ + PRS = PRQ + PQR + QPR
%" PRS = PQR + QPR
This result can be stated in the form of a theorem as given below
Theorem-4.7 : If a side of a triangle is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is equal to
the sum of the two interior opposite angles.
It is obvious from the above theorem that an exterior angle of a triangle is always greater
than either of its interior opposite angles.

If the sides of a triangle are produced in order, what will be the sum of exterior angles
formed?

Example-14. The angle of a triangle are (2x)°, (3x + 5)° and (4x ' 14)°.
Find the value of x and the measure of each angle of the triangle.
Solution : We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o.
% 2x° + 3x° + 5° + 4x° - 14° = 180° ! 9x° ' 9° = 180°
! 9x° = 180° + 9° = 189°
189(
! x= = 21.
9(
% 2x° = (2 & 21)° = 42°, (3x + 5)° = [(3 & 21 + 5)]° = 68°.
(4x ' 14)° = [(4 & 21) ' 14]° = 70°
Hence, the angles of the triangle are 42o, 68o and 70o.

Example-15. In the adjacent figure, AB || QR, BAQ = 142o and ABP = 100o.

! xo = (142o - 100o) = 42o.

% APB = 42o,
(ii) Now, AB || QR and PQ is a transversal.
% BAQ + AQR = 1800 [Sum of co-interior angles is 180o]
! 142o + AQR = 180o,
% AQR = (180o - 142o) = 38o.

The Self-generating Golden Triangle

The golden triangle is an isosceles triangle with base

angles 72o and the vertex angle 36o. When both of
these base angles are bisected the two new triangles
produced arc also golden triangles. This process can
be continued indefinitely up the legs of the original
golden triangle, and an infinite number of golden
triangles will appear as if they are unfolding.

As this diagram shows, the golden triangle also

produces the equi-angular spiral and the golden ratio,
= |AB| / |BC| = 1.618 ...
From these infinite climbing golden triangles one can
also construct inside them an infinite number of climbing
pentagrams. Note the five points of the penta-gram
are also golden triangles.
