Lines and Angles - New Syllabus

The document provides definitions and explanations of basic geometric concepts such as points, lines, angles, and their relationships. It covers types of angles, properties of intersecting and non-intersecting lines, and theorems related to vertically opposite angles and transversals. Additionally, it discusses the conditions under which lines are parallel and the relationships between angles formed by transversals intersecting parallel lines.

Lines and Angles

Basic terms and Definitions


1. Point - A Point is that which has no component. It is represented by a dot.
2. Line - When we join two distinct points then we get a line. A line has no endpoints it can
be extended infinitely.
3. Line Segment - It is the part of the line which has two endpoints.
4. Ray - Ray is also a part of the line which has only one endpoint and has no end on the
other side.

5. Collinear and Non-collinear points – Points lie on the same line are known as collinear
points and the points that don't lie on the same line are known as Non-Collinear Points.

Angles
When two rays begin from the same endpoint then they form an Angle. The two rays are the
arms of the angle and the endpoint is the vertex of the angle.
Types of Angles
Angle Notation Image

Acute An angle which is between 0° and 90°.

Right An angle which is exactly equal to 90°.

Obtuse An angle which is between 90° and 180°.

Reflex An angle which is between 180° and 360°


Straight An angle which is exactly equal to 180°.

Complete An angle which is exactly equal to 360°.

Complementary and Supplementary Angles


Complementary Angles are those which have the sum of two angles as 90°.
Supplementary Angles are those which have the sum of two angles as 180°.

is common then these are called
adjacent angles.

If two angles have the same

Linear pair of but the arms which are not
Angles common are making a line then
these are called the linear pair
of angles.

If two lines intersect each other


Vertically opposite at a point then the opposite

angles.

Intersecting Lines and Non-intersecting Lines


There are two ways to draw two lines-
1. The lines which cross each other from a particular point is called Intersecting Lines.
2. The lines which never cross each other at any point are called Non-intersecting Lines.
These lines are called Parallel Lines and the common length between two lines is the
distance between parallel lines.

Pairs of Angles Axioms


1. If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles formed by that ray is
180°.
This shows that the common arm of the two angles is the ray which is standing on a line
and the two adjacent angles are the linear pair of the angles. As the sum of two angles is
180° so these are supplementary angles too.
2. If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180°, then the arms which are not common of the
angles form a line.
This is the reverse of the first axiom which says that the opposite is also true.
Vertically opposite Angles Theorem
When two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles so formed will be
equal.

AC and BD are intersecting each other so ∠AOD = ∠BOC and ∠AOB = DOC.
Parallel Lines and a Transversal
If a line passes through two distinct lines and intersects them at distant points then this line is
called Transversal Line.
Here line “l” is transversal of line m and n.

Exterior Angles - ∠1, ∠2, ∠7 and ∠8


Interior Angles - ∠3, ∠4, ∠5 and ∠6
Pairs of angles formed when a transversal intersects two lines-
1. Corresponding Angles :
 ∠ 1 and ∠ 5
 ∠ 2 and ∠ 6
 ∠ 4 and ∠ 8
 ∠ 3 and ∠ 7
2. Alternate Interior Angles :
 ∠ 4 and ∠ 6
 ∠ 3 and ∠ 5
3. Alternate Exterior Angles:
 ∠ 1 and ∠ 7
 ∠ 2 and ∠ 8
4. Interior Angles on the same side of the transversal:
 ∠ 4 and ∠ 5
 ∠ 3 and ∠ 6
Transversal Axioms
1. If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then
 Each pair of corresponding angles will be equal.
 Each pair of alternate interior angles will be equal.
 Each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal will be supplementary.
2. If a transversal intersects two lines in such a way that
 Corresponding angles are equal then these two lines will be parallel to each other.
 Alternate interior angles are equal then the two lines will be parallel.
 Interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary then the two lines will
be parallel.
Lines Parallel to the Same Line

If two lines are parallel with a common line then these two lines will also be parallel to each
other.
As in the above figure if AB ∥ CD and EF ∥ CD then AB ∥ EF.
