Types of Angles

Acute angles – angles that have measures between 0 and

Right angles – angles that have measures equal to

Obtuse angles – angles that have measures between
90
90 and 180

Straight angles – angles that have measures equal to
180
90
Special Pairs of Angles

Vertical angles – opposite angles formed by intersecting lines.
Vertical angles are congruent.

Transversal
A line that intersects two or more other lines is called a
transversal. Eight angles are formed when a transversal
intersect two lines.

Corresponding Angles Postulate
Corresponding angles are those in the same position on the two
lines in relation to the transversal.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding
angles are congruent.

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
Alternate interior angles are those on opposite sides of the
transversal and inside the other two lines.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior
angles are congruent.

Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
Alternate exterior angles are those on opposite sides of the
transversal and outside the other two lines.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate exterior
angles are congruent.
