Unit 5: Angles and Constructions.

*5.1 Parallel Lines:

Two lines with arrow markings are parallel lines.


- Angles d and h are called corresponding angles. ( Red Line )
a & e ; b & f ; c & g are also corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal.

- Angles c and e are called alternate angles. ( Blue Line )


d & f are also alternate angles. Alternate angles are equal.

- Opposite angles:

This diagram shows two straight lines:


Angles a and c are equal. They are called vertically
opposite angles.
d & b are also vertically opposite angles.
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
To help you remember:
- For vertically opposite angles, think of the letter X

Angle a = angle b ( vertically opposite angles )


a
In the case of opposite angles, it is not necessary to have two
b parallel lines, as long as two lines intersect, they create two
opposite angles.

- For corresponding angles, think of the letter F

x Angle x = angle y ( corresponding angles )


Two lines with arrow markings are parallel lines.
y

- For alternate angles, think of the letter Z

z Angle z = angle t ( alternate angles )


Two lines with arrow markings are parallel lines.
t

*5.2 The exterior angle of a triangle.


Here is a triangle ABC, the side BC has been extended to X.
Angle ∠ACX ( angle d ) is called the exterior angle of the triangle at C.
We know that a + b + c = 180 ( Sum of the angles in a
A
triangle ) → a + b = 180 – c
a
Also d + c = 180 ( sum of the angles on a straight line )
→ d = 180 – c
b c d
B → a + b = d ; This is because if two expressions are
C X
equal to the same value (180 – c) , they must be
equal to each other.

*The exterior angle of a triangle = the sum of the two interior opposite angles, This is true for
any triangle.
