    This document provides definitions and properties related to angles and geometry on a straight line. It defines types of angles, properties of angles on a straight line including their sum being 180 degrees, vertically opposite angles being equal, and angles around a point summing to 360 degrees. It also defines corresponding angles, co-interior angles, and alternate angles being equal when lines are parallel. It provides examples of using these properties to solve problems involving calculating unknown angle measures.

    GRADE 8 STRAIGHT LINE GEOMETRY

    Naming Angles

    Types of Angles - Vocabulary

    Complementary and
    Supplementary only
    applies for TWO
    angles
    (i.e 3 angles cannot
    be described as
    complementary!)
    ANGLES ON A STRAIGHT LINE (Reason: ∠’s on a straight line)

    The sum of angles that are formed on a straight line


    is equal to 180°.

    (∠s on a str line)


    (∠s on a str line)

    Angles on a straight line


    must TOUCH for the 180
    rule to apply (I.e.
    common vertex)

    VERTICALLY OPPOSITE ANGLES (Reason: vert. opp. ∠s =)

    Vertically opposite angles are the angles


    opposite each other when two straight lines
    intersect. Vertically opposite angles are always equal

    (vert opp∠s =)
    (vert opp∠s =)

    Ex 3. Calculate the value of z


    Lines must intersect to
    use Vertically Opposite
    Angles. Note the PURPLE
    lines intersect in Ex2; not
    the black line.
    ANGLES AROUND A POINT (Reason: ∠s round a pt OR ∠s in a rev)

    The sum of angles that are formed around a central point is equal to
    360°.

    (∠s round a pt) (∠s round a pt)

    SPECIAL PROPERTIES: PARALLEL LINES


    **As these properties only apply to parallel lines, we must state the parallel lines in the reason)
    Proofs are only shown for explanations - learners are not expected to know proofs.

    CORRESPONDING ANGLES (Reason: corresp ∠s; || lines):


    When lines are parallel; corresponding angles are equal
    F G

    A B L H

    C D K I

    E J
    (corresp ∠s; AB || CD)
    (corresp ∠s; LH || KI)
    CO-INTERIOR ANGLES (Reason: co-int ∠s; || lines)
    When lines are parallel; co-interior angles add to 180°

    F
    H K

    A B
    L

    C D
    G

    E I J
    g + b = 180° (∠’s on a str line) (co-int ∠s; HI || KJ)

    r = g (corresp ∠s; AB || CD)


    r + b = 180°

    ALTERNATE ANGLES (Reason: alt ∠s; || lines)


    When lines are parallel; co-interior angles add to 180°
    G

    L H
    A B

    K I
    C D

    E J

    g = b (vert opp ∠’s =)


    (Alt ∠s; LH || KI)

    g = r (corresp ∠s; AB || CD)


    b = r
    PROBLEM SOLVING TIPS

     Remember the format - Statement and Reason (Every statement MUST have a reason)

     NEVER assume an angle size - diagrams are not drawn to scale

     There is more than one way to solve most problems.

     Fill in all known angles on the diagram - If you find any while doing this then make sure to

    state in your statement/reason table.

     Work back from unknown to known

     If angles ‘touch’; look for vertically opposite, angles around a point, straight lines or

    perpendicular lines

     If the angle is in a separate part of the diagram then highlight Parallel Lines - Check for FUN

    EUCLIDEAN REASONS YOU KNOW AND CAN USE (FUNKTOX):

    (Corresp) (Co-Int) (Alternate) [ ∠s on Str Line = 180]


    O X
    (∠s round a pt) (vert opp)
    PROBLEM SOLVING EXAMPLES:
    Ex1. Calculate the sizes of x, y and z.

    Ex2. If angle ∠BAD = 25°, what is the size of ∠DAE and ∠ADE?

    Statement Reason
    BAE + AED = 180° Co-Int ∠s; AB || CD
    ∴ BAE + 90 = 180°
    ∴ BAE = 90°

    BAE = BAD + DAE


    ∴ 90° = 25° + DAE
    ∴ DAE = 90° - 25° = 65°

    ADE = BAD Alt ∠s; AB || CD


    ∴ ADE = 25°
