Special Types of Angles
Objectives:
…to determine measures of complementary, supplementary, and vertical
angles
…to name or identify complementary, supplementary, adjacent, and vertical
angles
...to name, identify and/or determine measures of alternate interior, alternate
exterior, and corresponding angles
Assessment Anchor:
8.C.1.1 – Identify, use and/or describe properties of angles, triangles,
quadrilaterals, circles, pyramids, cubes, prisms, spheres, cones, and/or cylinders.
Complementary angles: two angles whose measurements sum up to be 90°
Supplementary angles: two angles whose measurements sum up to be 180°

Special Types of Angles
Vertical angles: two angles formed by two intersecting lines, and are opposite
each other
Adjacent angles: two angles that share a vertex and a side but no interior points
**** Vertical angles are always congruent!! (same measure)

Special Types of Angles
Transversal: a line that intersects two other lines in different points
Corresponding angles: angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and in
corresponding positions
Alternate Interior angles: angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and
in the interior of the pair of lines
**** When a transversal intersects two PARALLEL lines, corresponding
angles are congruent AND alternate interior angles are congruent!!
