Lines and Angles

There are 4 main types of angles: acute, right angle, obtuse angle and straight angle. 

If the angle is less than 90 degrees, it is acute angle

If the angle is 90 degrees, it is a right angle 

If the angle is more than 90 degrees, it is an obtuse angle 

If the angle is 180 degrees, it is a straight angle










     

The sum of the angles of a straight line is 180 degrees
































If you have a full circle, the measurement of the angles around the point is 360 degrees.
Angles that face each other (vertical angles) are congruent.

(A and D or B and E) are equal to each other.






















Vertical angles are congruent (equal to each other), then:
For example: angle FOE is vertical to BOC
3X+10=70
X=20
Moreover, to solve Y,FOA is also
Vertical to COD then:
2Y=3Y-30
Y=30°
Substituting
COD=2(30)=60°, AOF=3(30)-30=60°

Finally, to find Z, we know EOB is straight angle,
Z+60+70=180
Z=50°

 



When two parallel lines are crossed by another line
(called the transversal).
You need to remember which angles are equal to each other.

If two angles are supplementary they make up a single straight line, also the sum of their measures is 180°
If two angles are complementary they make up a right angle, also the sum of their measures is 90°
A good way to remember is that

Complementary is a Corner of 90 degrees

Triangles 



A triangle is a closed figure with 3 sides.
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.



There are three different types of triangles depending on the sides and angles.
Let's see the different types of triangles and their properties:

Types of Triangles 

Right Triangles 



Any triangle with a 90°-degree angle is a right triangle.
The measurement of the sides of a right triangle can be calculated with the following formula:








where C is the hypotenuse, A and B are the legs of the triangle

Let's see the different types of triangles and their properties:

45:45:90



The right triangle 45-45-90 follows the ratio 

X:X:X√2
Let's do an example:
