Vertically opposite angles

When two straight lines cross each other, four angles are created.

2
1 3
4

If you measured each of these angles with your protractor, you will discover that:

Angle 1 = Angle 3
and
Angle 2 = Angle 4

In Mathematics we refer to these equal angle pairs as vertically opposite angles.

Name the pairs of vertically opposite angles in this diagram:
E

D
A
O B
C
AB and CD are two straight lines crossing each other at O

` 1st pair of vertically opposite angles are: +AOC and +BOD

` 2nd pair of vertically opposite angles are: +AOD and +BOC

Adjacent angles formed by the intersection of two straight lines are supplementary.
Calculate the size of these angles:

` +WOY + +WOZ = 180c Adjacent angles of intersecting lines are supplementary
` +WOY + 140c = 180c
` +WOY = 40c

 Where does it work? Angles

Parallel lines

Parallel lines never cross each other, so on their own they never form an angle.

Used to show that the lines

are parallel to each other

Parallel lines are named like this: AB ;; CD

This symbol means 'is parallel to'

We get angles formed when another line that is not parallel crosses them.

A line that crosses parallel The opposite of parallel

lines is called a transversal is ‘perpendicular’. The
symbol for this is = . It
means the lines cross at
90c to each other

Alternate angles (Z-angles)

Angles that are on alternate sides of the transversal inside a pair of parallel lines are the same size.
H H
G G
A B A B

C D C D
F F
E E
+AGF = +DFG +CFG = +BGF

These are called alternate angles, and they form a ‘zigzag’ shape when highlighted. Let’s call them 'Z-angles'.
