1. What is geometry? Geometry is the mathematical study and reasoning behind shapes and planes in the universe.

Geometry compares shapes and structures in two or three dimensions. Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the deduction of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, and figures in space from their defining conditions by means of certain assumed properties of space. 2. Describe the ff terms: a. LineA line (straight line) can be thought of as a connected set of infinitely many points. It extends infinitely far in two opposite directions. A line has infinite length, zero width, and zero height. Any two points on the line name it. The symbol written on top of two letters is used to denote that line. A line may also be named by one small letter b. Ray A ray is a part of a line that begins at a particular point (called the endpoint) and extends endlessly in one direction. A ray is also called half-line. c. Segment A line segment is a connected piece of a line. It has two endpoints and is named by its endpoints. Sometimes, the symbol written on top of two letters is used to denote the segment. This is line segment CD 3. Give the subsets of a line? The line, itself, is a subset (though not a proper subset). A ray is a subset of a line with one end-point which extends in only one direction. A line segment is a subset of a line with two end points. A point is a subset of a line. Finally, nothing is a subset (the null subset) of a line. 4. What is an angle? Give the kinds of an angle. Acute angle: An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees. The following is an acute angle.

Right angle: An angle whose measure is 90 degrees. The following is a right angle.

Obtuse angle: An angle whose measure is bigger than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Thus, it is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. The following is an obtuse angle.

Straight angle An angle whose measure is 180 degrees.Thus, a straight angle look like a straight line. The following is a straight angle.

Reflex angle: An angle whose measure is bigger than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.The following is a reflex angle.

Adjacent angles: Angle with a common vertex and one common side. <1 and <2, are adjacent

angles. Complementary angles: Two angles whose measures add to 90 degrees. Angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary angles because together they form a right angle. Note that angle 1 and angle 2 do not have to be adjacent to be complementary as long as they add up to 90 degrees

Supplementary angles: Two angles whose measures add to 180 degrees. The following are supplementary angles.

Vertical angles: Angles that have a common vertex and whose sides are formed by the same lines. The following(angle 1 and angle 2) are vertical angles.

When two parallel lines are crossed by a third line(Transversal), 8 angles are formed. Take a look at the following figure

Angles 3,4,5,8 are interior angles Angles 1,2,6,7 are exterior angles Alternate interior angles: Pairs of interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal. For instance, angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles. Angle 4 and angle 8 are also alternate interior angles. Alternate exterior angles: Pairs of exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal. Angle 2 and angle 7 are alternate exterior angles. Corresponding angles: Pairs of angles that are in similar positions. Angle 3 and angle 2 are corresponding angles. Angle 5 and angle 7 are corresponding angles
