Congruent Angles, Vertical Angles, and Linear Pairs
Congruent Angles, Vertical Angles, and Linear Pairs
Example:
If then
ANGLE BISECTOR
It is a line that divides the angle into two congruent parts .
Example:
is an angle bisector.
Thus,
ADJACENT ANGLES
These are two angles that have the same vertex and a common
side between them.
Example:
are adjacent angles.
LINEAR PAIR
These are two angles formed that are adjacent and
supplementary.
Example:
form a linear pair.
VERTICAL ANGLES
These are nonadjacent angles that are formed by the
intersection of two lines. These angles are equal in measure.
Example:
and are vertical angles.
and are vertical angles.
EXAMPLE 1: FIND THE VALUES OF AND IN THE FIGURE
BELOW.
Example 1: Find the values of and in the figure below.
Solution
Notice that and form a linear pair.
Thus, their sum is .
Example 1: Find the values of and in the figure below.
Solution
Moreover, and are vertical angles.
Thus, they have equal measures.
Solution
Therefore, , , .
EXAMPLE 2: FIND THE MEASURE OF ALL THE ANGLES IN THE
GIVEN FIGURE BELOW.
Example 2: Find the measure of all the angles in the given figure below.
Solution:
Analyzing the figure, and form a linear
pair.
Thus, .
Example 2: Find the measure of all the angles in the given figure below.
Solution:
Substituting the values, we have:
Example 2: Find the measure of all the angles in the given figure below.
Solution:
Thus, .
Therefore, and .
