Crazy For Angles

khandicexoxo asked: Hey Amber! It's me, Khandice, and I found your blog about angles. I'm having some trouble with this topic in school, but mostly with figuring out how to find the measures of the angles. Can you give me an example of how to find the angle measures when you are given an expression for two of the angles that are opposite each other? Can you also fill me in on some terminology involving angles? Thank you so much.

Hey Khandice! It’s so nice to hear from you. I attached a document that explains everything carefully. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Amber :D

Anonymous asked: What are corresponding angles?

Corresponding angles are angles that have the same measure. They are on the same side of the transversal, but lie on different parallels.

The sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Anonymous asked: What is a transversal?

A transversal is a line that passes through two or more parallel lines. When the transversal intersects with the parallel lines, it creates numerous angles.

Anonymous asked: Could you show me what alternate interior angles are?

Angles 5 and 6 are alternate interior angles and angles 7 and 8 are also alternate interior angles. The measures of these angles are also always equal to each other.

An angle is formed by two rays that have a common endpoint.

Anonymous asked: What are vertical angles?

Vertical angles are angles that are opposite each other when two lines cross. The measures are always equal to each other. Based on this picture, the angle with the question mark is vertical to the angle that equals 70 degrees. Due to the fact that these are vertical to each other, the angle with the question mark will also equal 70 degrees.
