A | B |
ray | Extends indefinitely in ONE direction, has exactly ONE endpoint. |
angle | Figure formed by TWO NONCOLLINEAR rays with a common endpoint. |
adjacent angles | Coplanar angles with a common vertex, common side, and NO common interior points. |
vertical angles | 2 non-adjacent angles that share a vertex and are formed by intersecting lines. |
linear pair | Adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays. |
perpendicular lines | 2 lines that intersect to form 4 right angles. |
complementary angles | 2 angles whose measures sum to 90 degrees. |
supplementary angles | 2 angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees. |
acute angle | Angle with a measure of less than 90 degrees. |
obtuse angle | Angle with a measure of more than 90 degrees AND less than 180 degrees. |
right angle | Angle with a measure of exactly 90 degrees. |
straight angle | Angle with a measure of exactly 180 degrees. |
vertex | The common endpoint of the 2 rays forming an angle. |
opposite rays | 2 rays that together form a straight angle. |
measure of an angle | The number of degrees between the sides of the angle. |
Angle Addition Postulate |  |
Angle Addition Postulate | The sum of the measures of two adjacent angles equals the measure of whole large angle. |
congruent | Having the same measure. |
angle bisector | Divides an angle into 2 congruent angles. |
vertical angles | 2 angles that share a vertex and are directly across the vertex from each other. |
straight angle | An angle formed by 2 opposite rays. |
Linear Pairs Postulate | 2 angles that form a linear pair are supplementary. |
