Looking Back

(1) If the sum of two angles is equal to °, then the angles are called complementary angles.

(2) Each angle in a pair of complementary angles is .

(3) If the sum of two angles is equal to °, then the angles are called supplementary angles.

(4) Each angle in a pair of supplementary angles may be either acute or right or obtuse. Two right angles always each other.

(5) The angles formed on both sides of a common arm and a common vertex are angles.

(6) A pair of complementary angles or a pair of supplementary angles need not be adjacent angles.

(7) A pair of angles that are adjacent and supplementary form a pair.

(8) (i)When two lines intersect each other at a point (vertex), the angles formed opposite to each other are called vertically angles.

(ii) A pair of vertically opposite angles are always in measure.

(9) (i) A line which intersects two or more lines at distinct points is called a .

(ii) A transversal makes angles with two lines as shown in the adjacent figure.

(10) When a transversal intersects a pair of parallel lines:

(i) Each pair of corresponding angles are .

(ii) Each pair of alternate interior angles are .

(iii) Each pair of alternate exterior angles are .

(iv) Each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal are .
