I can prove theorems about lines and angles, including the Vertical Angles Theorem, Corresponding Angles Postulate, Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, and the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and their converses.

Hook
Angles are everywhere! On a field trip, if you turn your head 55 degrees to the left you will see a famous statue. From there, if you turn your head 35 more degrees, you will see a waterfall. From where you began, how far would you have to turn your head to see the waterfall?

Background Information
A. Straight Angle: An angle whose measure is 180 B. Adjacent Angles: Two angles that share a common side and vertex, but no common interior points C. Complementary Angles: Two angles whose sum is 90 D. Supplementary Angles: Two angles whose sum is 180 E. Angle Addition Postulate: Adding two adjacent angles together.

Complementary and Supplementary Practice

1. Given: m<TRD = 90 2.

Angles A and B are supplementary. If m<A = x and m<B is five times greater than the m<A, find the value of x. Then find m<A and m<B.

Angle Addition Postulate Practice

I. Vertical Angle Theorem

A. Two angles that share a common vertex and whose sides form 2 pairs of opposite rays are vertical angles. B. Vertical Angles are congruent

III. Parallel Lines and Angle Pairs

A. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, they create pairs of angles with special characteristics. In the diagram below lines l and m are parallel and n is a transversal
How would you define the word transversal?

III. Parallel Lines and Angle Pairs

B. Exterior and Interior Angles: interior angles lie in between the two parallel lines. Exterior angles lie outside the parallel lines.

III. Parallel Lines and Angle Pairs

C. Types of Interior Angles 1. Same-Side Interior Angles: Angles inside the two parallel lines on the same side of the transversal. Same side interior angles are supplementary. 2. Alternate Interior Angles: Angles inside the two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal. Alternate interior angles are congruent.

III. Parallel Lines and Angle Pairs

D. Types of Exterior Angles 1. Alternate Exterior Angles: Angles outside the two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal. Alternate exterior angles are congruent.

III. Parallel Lines and Angle Pairs

E. Corresponding Angles: When a parallel line is cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are angles in the same position at each intersection (matching spots!). Corresponding angles are congruent.

IV. Angle Bisectors

A. Definition: A ray that divides an angle into two adjacent angles that are congruent.

IV. Angle Bisectors

B. Angle Bisector Theorem: If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then the point is equidistant from the sides of the angle.

IV. Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

A. Definition: The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line, ray, or segment that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint.
Can there be a perpendicular bisector of a line? Why or why not??

V. Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

B. The perpendicular bisector of a segment is the set of all points that are equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
How could you classify the triangles created by the segments connecting the endpoints to the perpendicular bisector?
