Types of Angles
Adjacent

Transversal

-Share a vertex
-Next to each other
i.e. 1 and 2, 2 and4, 4and 3, 3 and1, 5 and 6, 6 and 8, 8 and
7, 7 and 5.

Vertically opposite
-the opposite angles formed when 2 lines intersect.
-vertically opposite angles are congruent
i.e. 1 and 4, 2 and 3, 5 and 8, 6 and7.

Alternate exterior
-on opposite sides of the transversal and on the outside of the parallel lines
-Alternate exterior angles are equal
i.e. 1 and 8 and 2 and 7

Alternate interior
-on opposite sides of the transversal and on the inside of the parallel lines
-Alternate interior angles are equal
i.e. 3 and 6 and 4 and 5

Corresponding
-they are in the same position from one line to the other
-usually one of them is inside and one outdie the parallel lines
-corresponding angles are equal.
i.e. 1 and 5, 2 and 6, 3 and 7, 4 and 8.

Interior Angles of a Polygon


The sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180.
The sum of the angles in other polygons is based on the number of triangles
that can be drawn from 1 vertex. The number of triangles times 180 is the
sum of the interior angles.
The rule is (n-2) x180 where n=the number of sides in the polygon.
**In a triangle n=3 so
(n-2) x 180
=(3-2) x 180
=(1) x 180
=180

How to Copy an Angle using a Compass and Ruler


Create DEF to ABC

Steps
1-Draw a ray and label one end point E

2- use your compass to measure the


length of BC and then make an
arc of the same length from point E. This
intersection point becomes point F.

April 17, 2015

Steps

3-use your compass to measure the distance


between points A and C on the arc
that you drew.
4-Keep your compass set at the same
distance and place the compass tip at
point F. Make an arc. The intersection
point of the two arcs is point D.

5- Join Point D to Point E to create DEF

How to Bisect an Angle using a Compass and Ruler


A

Bisecting an angle using the geometry tools cuts an angle exactly in half without
having to measure or calculate
D

Steps
1-From Point B create an arc of any size that
crosses both arms of the angle. Label the points
of intersection as Point D and E.

A
D

2- Place the point of your compass at Point E


and open the compass to a distance of more
than half the distance between D and E.
Make an arc.
3-Keeping your compass open the same distance
place the point of the compass at Point D and
make an arc. Make sure it crosses the first one.
4-Join the point of intersection of the two arcs back
to Point B to create 2 equal angles.
** you can verify if you are correct using a protractor.

How to Create a 60 Angle using a Compass and Ruler


Steps
1-Draw Line Segment AB

2-Place your compass on Point A and make an


arc. Label the point of intersection of the arc
and the line as C

3-Keep your compass the same width and make


an arc from C. Make sure that it intersects the arc
you just made.
4-Join the point of intersection of the 2 arcs back
to the point A. This will create a 60 angle

How to Create a 90 Angle (Right Bisector)


using a Compass and Ruler (The FISH)
0
172

A right bisector will cut a line in half at a 90 angle.


Steps
1-From A, set your compass to a distance of over half
the line length, and draw an arc above and below
the line (A half circle).
2-Keep your compass at the same width and repeat
step 1 but from point B
3-Draw a line using a ruler to connect the points of
intersection of the arcs. Make sure to connect the
point of intersection above and below the line AB.
** you can verify if you are correct using a protractor.
