Overview

Lines and angles form the basic language of geometry. A point shows a location, a line extends infinitely in both directions, a ray extends in one direction, and a plane extends infinitely in length and breadth. Angles are formed by two rays with a common starting point. The chapter also studies how

Key Concepts

A point is represented by capital

A point is represented by capital letters such as A, B, and C. A line is formed by joining two points and extending infinitely on both sides. A ray st

An angle is a figure consisting

An angle is a figure consisting of two rays starting from a common point. Important types include right angle, straight angle, acute angle, and obtuse

Two angles with sum 90°

Two angles with sum 90° are complementary. Two angles with sum 180° are supplementary. If a ray stands on a line, the two adjacent angles formed make

When two lines intersect

When two lines intersect, the opposite angles are equal. If the intersecting lines form angles AOC and DOB, then ∠AOC = ∠DOB, and ∠AOD = ∠BOC.

A transversal is a line

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points. When it cuts two lines, eight angles are formed. Important pairs are cor
