ANGLES - ESSENTIAL POINTS
- A line-segment has two end points.
- A ray has only one end point (its vertex).
- A line has no end points on either side.
- An angle is formed when two lines (or rays or line-segments) meet.

Pairs of Angles Condition Two complementary angles Angles add up to 90° Two supplementary angles Angles add up to 180° Two adjacent angles Have a common vertex and a common arm but no common interior points. Linear pair Adjacent and supplementary
- Complementary Angles: Two angles that add to 90°.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that add to 180°.
- Adjacent Angles: Two angles have a common vertex and a common arm but no common interior points.
- Linear pairs: A pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
- Vertically Opposite Angles: Two angles formed by intersection of two lines that have common arm.
- Angles made by Transversal: When two lines are intersecting by a transversal, eight angles are formed.
- Transversal of Parallel Lines: If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of:
- Corresponding angles are congruent.
- Alternate interior angles are congruent.
- Alternate exterior angles are congruent.
- If the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines, all of the angles formed are congruent to 90° angles.
- Sum of any 2 sides of triangle is greater than its third side.
- In right angled triangle, hypotenuse is the longest side.
- Sum of angles of triangle is 180 degree.
- A, B, C are collinear if AB + BC = AC.
