Angles

Whether you are playing snooker or soccer, building houses or bridges, or designing logos or computer graphics, you need to know all about angles. Look around you for a momentyou will see angles everywhere.

In this chapter you will:

name and classify different types of angles and lines revise protractor skills for measuring and drawing angles recognise and use notations for angles, parallel lines and perpendicular lines discover different angle facts and use them to solve geometry problems identify and measure pairs of alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles for two lines cut by a transversal discover and use the properties of alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles for two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Naming angles
An angle is a description of the size of a turn or rotation. It is drawn with two arms which meet at a vertex. Angles are normally marked with a curved line called an arc. This shows the size of the turn. The angle marked in this diagram can be written as: G or G
P vertex G
arm

arc

PGH or HGP H or HG P PG

The middle letter is always the letter that labels the vertex of the angle.

Just for the record

Why 360 degrees?
Why are there 90 in a right angle and 360 in a revolution? Why do we use such strange numbers instead of more conventional numbers like 10 and 100? The reason is that, in 2000 BC, the ancient Babylonians used a base 60 system of numbers. They used a base 60 number system because: 60 is a rounder, more convenient number which has more factors than 10. You can divide 60 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30. 6 60 = 360, which was the Babylonian approximation of the number of days in a year. They dened a revolution as being 360 so that, each day, the Earth would travel 1 around the Sun. A right angle, being a quarter-revolution, thus became 360 4 = 90. Some people who prefer a base 10 system of measurement use grads instead of degrees to measure angles. With this system, a right angle is 100 grads and a revolution is 400 grads.

Find out more information about grads, including the exact relationship between degrees and grads.

Naming lines
A line is named using two points on the line. For example, this is the line AB. When two lines cross, we say that they intersect. Two lines intersect at a point and form four angles between them. For example, in this diagram, line DE intersects with line FG at point H. One of the angles formed is FHE.

Perpendicular lines
Lines that intersect at right angles are called perpendicular lines. For example, in this diagram, PQ is perpendicular to XY. This is written as PQ XY, where the symbol P stands for is perpendicular to.
X

Q Y

Parallel lines
Lines that point in the same direction and never intersect are called parallel lines. Parallel lines are marked with identical arrowheads and are always the same distance apart. For example, in this diagram, MN is parallel to RS. N This is written as MN II RS, where the symbol II stands S M for is parallel to.
R indicates these lines are parallel

Angles and parallel lines

A line that crosses two or more other lines is called a transversal. Transverse means across.
transversal

transversal

If a pair of parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, then special pairs of angles are formed: alternate angles, corresponding angles and co-interior angles. We shall identify these angles and discover their properties.

54

NEW CENTURY MATHS 7

Alternate angles
Alternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal but between the parallel lines. They are marked with red dots on the diagram. Alternate means going back and forth. Draw a pair of parallel lines and mark the alternate angles as shown. Draw in the broken line and cut along it. Rotate the two alternate angles and place them on top of each other. You should see they are the same.

Alternate angles on parallel lines are equal.

Corresponding angles
Corresponding angles are on the same side of the transversal and are both either above or below the parallel lines. Corresponding means matching. Corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal.

Co-interior angles
Co-interior angles are on the same side of the transversal but between the parallel lines. Co-interior means together inside. Co-interior angles on parallel lines are supplementary. They add to 180.
Pairs of co-interior angles

Measure the following pairs of angles and see if they really are supplementary.

We can also show that co-interior angles add to 180 using the following method: a + b = 180 They are angles on a straight line. a=c They are alternate angles. So c + b = 180

Solution
a + 80 = 180 Co-interior angles are supplementary. a = 180 80 So a = 100 2 Find the size of the angle marked m in this diagram.

Just for the record

The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy, began leaning shortly after its construction commenced in 1173. In 1350, it was leaning at 2.5, or 4 m, from the vertical. By 1990, its lean had grown to 5.5, or 4.5 m, and was increasing at 1.2 mm per year. Architects estimated that the tower would have toppled over by the year 2020 so it was closed for 12 years to allow $25 million worth of engineering work to take place. When it reopened in 2001, its lean had been pushed back to 5 or 4.1 m, and it is now guaranteed to stay up for at least another 300 years. 1 Draw a scale diagram of the Leaning Tower of Pisa given that its top is 55 metres above the ground. 2 Research how engineers prevented the tower from leaning further. Use the library or the Internet to conduct your research.

Finding parallel lines

We can use what we know about angles and parallel lines to show that two lines are parallel.

Example 8
1 Is AB parallel to CD in the diagram on the right?
X B

Solution
AXY is alternate to DYX. AXY = DYX = 75 AB II CD since a pair of alternate angles are equal. ( means therefore) 2 Is MN parallel to PQ in the diagram on the right?

75 75 D

X 110 80 Y Q N

Solution
MXY is co-interior with PYX. P MXY + PYX = 110 + 80 = 190 180 Since co-interior angles do not add to 180, MN is not parallel to PQ.
