Revision Notes on Lines and Angles

Basic terms and Definitions


1. Point - A Point is that which has no component. It is represented by a dot.
2. Line - When we join two distinct points then we get a line. A line has no endpoints it
can be extended infinitely.
3. Line Segment - It is the part of the line which has two endpoints.
4. Ray - Ray is also a part of the line which has only one endpoint and has no end on the
other side.

5. Collinear and Non-collinear points – Points lie on the same line are known as
collinear points and the points that don't lie on the same line are known as Non-
Collinear Points.

Angles
When two rays begin from the same endpoint then they form an Angle. The two rays are
the arms of the angle and the endpoint is the vertex of the angle.
Types of Angles
Angle Notation Image

Acute An angle which is between 0° and 90°.

Right An angle which is exactly equal to 90°.

Obtuse An angle which is between 90° and 180°.

Reflex An angle which is between 180° and 360°

Straight An angle which is exactly equal to 180°.

Complete An angle which is exactly equal to 360°.

Complementary and Supplementary Angles


Complementary Angles are those which have the sum of two angles as 90°.

Supplementary Angles are those which have the sum of two angles as 180°.

If two angles have the same


vertex and their one of the arm
Adjacent Angles
is common then these are called
adjacent angles.

If two angles have the same


vertex and one common arm
Linear pair of but the arms which are not
Angles common are making a line then
these are called the linear pair
of angles.

If two lines intersect each other


Vertically opposite at a point then the opposite
Angles angles are vertically opposite
angles.

Intersecting Lines and Non-intersecting Lines


There are two ways to draw two lines-

1. The lines which cross each other from a particular point is called Intersecting Lines.
2. The lines which never cross each other at any point are called Non-intersecting
Lines. These lines are called Parallel Lines and the common length between two lines is
the distance between parallel lines.
Pairs of Angles Axioms
1. If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles formed by that ray
is 180°.

This shows that the common arm of the two angles is the ray which is standing on
a line and the two adjacent angles are the linear pair of the angles. As the sum of
two angles is 180° so these are supplementary angles too.

2. If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180°, then the arms which are not common
of the angles form a line.
This is the reverse of the first axiom which says that the opposite is also true.

Vertically opposite Angles Theorem


When two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles so formed will
be equal.
AC and BD are intersecting each other so ∠AOD = ∠BOC and ∠AOB = DOC.

Parallel Lines and a Transversal


If a line passes through two distinct lines and intersects them at distant points then this
line is called Transversal Line.
Here line “l” is transversal of line m and n.

Exterior Angles - ∠1, ∠2, ∠7 and ∠8


Interior Angles - ∠3, ∠4, ∠5 and ∠6
Pairs of angles formed when a transversal intersects two lines -

1. Corresponding Angles :
• ∠ 1 and ∠ 5

• ∠ 2 and ∠ 6

• ∠ 4 and ∠ 8

• ∠ 3 and ∠ 7

2. Alternate Interior Angles :


• ∠ 4 and ∠ 6
• ∠ 3 and ∠ 5

3. Alternate Exterior Angles:


• ∠ 1 and ∠ 7

• ∠ 2 and ∠ 8

4. Interior Angles on the same side of the transversal:


• ∠ 4 and ∠ 5

• ∠ 3 and ∠ 6

Transversal Axioms

1. If a transversal intersects two parallel lines,


then
• Each pair of corresponding angles will be equal.

• Each pair of alternate interior angles will be equal.

• Each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal will be
supplementary.

2. If a transversal intersects two lines in such a way that


• Corresponding angles are equal then these two lines will be parallel to each
other.

• Alternate interior angles are equal then the two lines will be parallel.

• Interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary then the
two lines will be parallel.
Example
Find ∠DGH.

Solution
Here, AB ∥ CD and EH is transversal.

∠EFB + ∠BFG = 180° (Linear pair)

∠BFG = 180°- 133°

∠BFG = 47°

∠BFG =∠DGH (Corresponding Angles)

∠DGH = 47°

Lines Parallel to the Same Line


If two lines are parallel with a common line then these two lines will also be parallel to
each other.

As in the above figure if AB ∥ CD and EF ∥ CD then AB ∥ EF.

Angle Sum Property of a Triangle


1. The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180º.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

2. If we produce any side of a triangle, then the exterior angle formed is equal to the
sum of the two interior opposite angles.

∠BCD = ∠BAC + ∠ABC

Example
Find x and y.
Solution
Here, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Angle sum property)

30°+ 42° + x = 180°

x = 180°- (30° + 42°)

x = 108°

And y is the exterior angle and the two opposite angles are ∠A and ∠B.

So,

∠BCD = ∠A + ∠B (Exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles).

y = 30°+ 42°

y = 72°

We can also find it by linear pair axiom as BC is a ray on the line AD, so

x + y = 180° (linear pair)
