Master Geometry Angles with Theorems and Problems - Part 1: Essential Concepts for Solving Angle Problems
In geometry, an angle is formed when two lines or rays meet at a common
point. The measure of an angle is typically expressed in degrees, although
other units such as radians may also be used. Here are some important
concepts related to angles in geometry:
-
Acute angle: An angle that
measures less than 90 degrees.
-
Right angle: An angle that measures
exactly 90 degrees.
-
Obtuse angle: An angle that measures between 90 and
180 degrees.
-
Straight angle: An angle that measures exactly 180
degrees.
-
Reflex angle: An angle that measures between 180 and 360
degrees.
-
Complementary angles: Two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
-
Supplementary angles: Two angles that add up to 180 degrees.
-
Vertical
angles: A pair of opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines.
Vertical angles are equal in measure.
-
Adjacent angles: Two angles that
share a common vertex and a common side. The sum of adjacent angles is
equal to the measure of the larger angle formed by their non-common sides.
-
Congruent angles: Two angles that have the same measure.
Understanding
these concepts is essential in solving geometry problems involving angles.
