The Geometry of Euclid

A point has no magnitude and no size.

A line has no thickness and no width and it extends indefinitely in two directions.

A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely.

Points, Lines, and Planes

A capital letter usually represents a point. A line may named by two capital letters representing points that lie on the line or by a single letter such as l

. A plane may be named by three capital letters representing points that lie in the plane or by a letter of the Greek alphabet such as

  

Half-Line, Ray, and Line Segment

A point divides a line into two half-lines , one on each side of the point.

A ray is a half-line including an initial point.

A line segment includes two endpoints.

Parallel and Intersecting Lines

Parallel lines lie in the same plane and never meet.

Two distinct intersecting lines meet at a point.

Skew lines do not lie in the same plane and do not meet.

Parallel and Intersecting Planes

Parallel planes never meet.

Two distinct intersecting planes meet and form a straight line.

Angles

An angle is the union of two rays that have a common endpoint. An angle can be named with the side; the second names the vertex; the third names a point on the other side.

Angles

Angles are measured by the amount of rotation. 360° is the amount of rotation of a ray back onto itself.

Angles

Angles are classified and named with reference to their degree measure.

Example: Finding Angle Measure

Find the measure of each marked angle below.

(3 x + 10)°

Solution

3 x + 10 = 5 x – 10

2 x = 20 x = 10

Vertical angels are equal.

So each angle is 3(10) + 10 = 40°.

(5 x – 10)°

Complementary and Supplementary

Angles

If the sum of the measures of two acute angles is

90°, the angles are said to be complementary , and each is called the complement of the other. For example, 50° and 40° are complementary angles

If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180°, the angles are said to be supplementary , and each is called the supplement of the other. For example,

50° and 130° are supplementary angles

Example: Finding Angle Measure

Find the measure of each marked angle below.

(2 x + 45)°

( x – 15)°

Solution

2 x + 45 + x – 15 = 180

3 x + 30 = 180

3 x = 150

Supplementary angles.

x = 50

Evaluating each expression we find that the angles are 35° and 145° .

Example: Finding Angle Measure

Find the measure of each marked angle below.

(3 x – 80)°

( x + 70)°

Solution x + 70 = 3 x – 80

2 x = 150 x = 75

Alternating interior angles.

Evaluating we find that the angles are 145°.
