Lines and Angles - 1
1 Intersecting lines can either be oblique or perpendicular.
A B Θ≠ 90º
m
Perpendicular Lines Oblique Lines
• Perpendicular Lines: When the angle between the intersecting lines = 90°.
• Oblique Lines: When the angle between the intersecting lines ≠ 90°.
2 When two lines intersect, we get two pairs of equal vertically opposite angles.

900 900
350 350
900 900 1450
• When the lines are perpendicular, each vertically opposite angle = 90°.
• When the lines are oblique, one pair of vertically opposite angles is obtuse, and another pair is acute.

3 When a pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, following types of angles are formed.
Interior Angles
Alternate interior angles Co-interior angles
Exterior Angles Corresponding Angles
4 Corresponding angles are equal.
5 Alternate interior angles are equal.

6 Co-interior angles are supplementary
+ = 180º
7 All obtuse angles formed are of the same measure and all acute angles formed are of another same measure.
8 Each pair of an acute and an obtuse angle forms a linear pair.
+ will form a linear pair
+ = 180º
9 Shortest distance between a pair of parallel lines is the perpendicular distance between them.
