Angles

Front

What is an angle?

Back

An angle is formed by two rays (sides of the angle) that share a common endpoint (the vertex).

Front

What are complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the two lines.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two lines.

Front

If two angles are supplementary and one angle measures 70 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle?

Back

The other angle measures 110 degrees.

Front

If two angles are complementary and one angle measures 30 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle?

Back

The other angle measures 60 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
