9 Unit II Fundamental Terms Part Defined Terms Lesson 6 Definitions bout ngles as Sets of Points bjective: To understand and clearly define fundamental terms about angles, in our Geometry. Important Terms: ngle From the Latin angulus, meaning, corner, this is, in fact, a corner of a simple closed plane curve, made up of straight line segments. Formally, in our Geometry, a geometric figure is an angle, if and only if, it is the union of two different rays (called the sides of the angle, with a common endpoint (called the vertex of the angle. We refer to an angle by using a small symbol for an angle, along with specific points on the rays, being sure to place the letter for the vertex between the letters for the other two points. See the illustration below. T U V TUV or VUT Half-Line Formally, in our Geometry, a set of points is a half-line, if and only if, it is one of the two sets of points on either side of a specific point on a line, called the separation point. Half-plane set of points is a half-plane, if and only if, it is one of the two sets of points on either side of a specific line on a plane, called the separation line. Half-space set of points is a half-space, if and only if, it is one of the two sets of points on either sides of a specific plane in a space, called the separation plane. Edge The more common name for a separation line in a plane. Generally used when combining a half-plane with a separation line, in an effort to clearly describe the interior and exterior of an angle. Interior of an ngle point can be considered as clearly being in the interior of an angle, only if one ray of the angle lies in the edge of a half-plane, and the point is between the two rays making up the angle. Exterior of an ngle point can be considered as clearly being in the exterior of an angle, only if one ray of the angle lies in the edge of a half-plane, and the point is not between, or on the two rays making up the angle. 141 Unit II Fundamental Terms

Write your answer using correct notation. (i.e. m DEF = Note: In some cases, you may have to extend the rays. T a b U Z V c d Y S T U X H e f M N g h I R J Q P 149 Unit II Fundamental Terms

12 4. Use your protractor to draw angles with the given measures. Include points so that the names of the angles are correct. a m DEF = 30 b m = 120 c m XYZ = 150 d m MNQ = 45 e m JKL = 60 f m RST = Estimate the measure of the angle formed by the hands of a clock, at each of the following times. a 3 o clock b 1 o clock c 5 o clock d 20 minutes past 8 e 6 o clock f 4 o clock 6. Draw a line,. hoose a point between and. Use a protractor to determine how many lines you can draw through that will form a 30 angle with. 7.

Use a protractor to check your accuracy. a 60 b 150 c 30 d 45 e 90 f Using a ruler, draw a large triangle. Then use a protractor to find the approximate measure of each angle and compute the sum of the three measures. Repeat this exercise once more, but create a triangle with a different shape. Did you get approximately the same result? What might you assume about the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle? 9. In a coordinate plane, plot the points and sketch DEF. lassify the angle. Write the coordinates of a point that lies in the interior of the angle, and the coordinates of a point that lies in the exterior of the angle. a D ( 3, 2 b D ( 5, 1 c D ( 7, 1 E ( 5, 1 E ( 3, 2 E ( 3, 4 F ( 4, 4 F ( 4, 4 F ( 0, Draw five points,,, D, and E so that E is a straight angle, D is a right angle and is a right angle.

13 Unit II Fundamental Terms Part Defined Terms Lesson 8 Definitions bout Pairs of ngles bjective: To understand and clearly define fundamental terms about pairs of angles, in our Geometry. Important Terms: ongruent ngles From the Latin meaning, to agree, two angles are said to be congruent, if and only if, they are exactly the same size and shape. This relationship is symbolized by an is equal to sign with a wavy line on top. See the illustration below. MNP Equal ngles Two angles are said to be equal, if and only if, they have the same measure. See the illustration below. = MNP ongruence / Measurement onnection Intuitively, it seems reasonable that two angles which are congruent, will have equal measures. Formally, in our Geometry, two angles are congruent, if and only if, the two angles have equal measures. isector of an ngle From two Latin words meaning, to cut in two, a bisector of an angle is a geometric figure which cuts the angle into two congruent parts. Formally, in our Geometry, a ray is a bisector of an angle, if and only if, it is between the sides of the angle, and divides the angle into two congruent angles. See the illustration below. (Note: Technically a line could also be a bisector. F G H GH bisects FGJ J djacent ngles From a Latin word meaning, to lie near, adjacent angles are angles which lie near each other. Formally, in our Geometry, two angles are adjacent, if and only if, the two angles have a common vertex, and a common ray, and the ray lies between the other sides of the two angles. See the illustration below. (Note: The other two sides, the non-common sides, are called the two exterior sides of the two adjacent angles. Y X Z XY and YZ are adjacent angles 151 Unit II Fundamental Terms

14 Major rc of a ircle n arc whose points are in the exterior of a central angle of a circle. Formally, in our Geometry, an arc of a circle is a major arc, if and only if, it is the union of two points on the circle (not the endpoints of a diameter, and the set of points on the circle, which lie in the exterior of the angle formed by the radii containing the two points. Note: Remember that a third point on the arc must be used to name a major arc. See the illustration below. D D is a major arc of circle Semicircle From a Latin word meaning half, this is an arc which is of a circle 1 ( 2 of a complete rotation. Formally, in our Geometry, an arc of a circle is a semicircle, if and only if, it is an arc whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter of the circle. Note: Since the symbolism for a semicircle will designate two congruent semicircles, it is necessary to use a third point to designate a specific semicircle. See the illustration below. Q 1 2 P R PQR is a semicircle of circle Measure of a Minor rc of a ircle Formally, in our Geometry, the measure of a minor arc of a circle, is equal to the related central angle. See the illustration below. m = m Measure of a Major rc of a ircle Formally, in our Geometry, the measure of a major arc of a circle, is equal to 360, minus, the measure of its related minor arc. See the illustration below.

(Stated as a conditional: If there is a line, then there exist at least two different points on that line. 2nd ssumption: Every plane contains at least three different, non-collinear points. (Stated as a conditional: If there is a plane, then there exist at least three different, non-collinear points on that plane. 3rd ssumption: Space contains at least four different, non-coplanar points, no three of which are collinear. (Stated as a conditional: If there is space, then there exist at least four different, non-coplanar points, no three of which are collinear. Note: Remember. Every geometric figure we will deal with, in our Geometry, is made up of points. Part Postulates (or xioms 170

22 Example 2: onsider three planes and the relationships that may exist between the planes. How many points must exist in each of the relationships? Sketch a diagram to illustrate each situation. a The planes are parallel. b Two of the planes are parallel and the third plane intersects the two parallel planes. c Each plane intersects the other two planes. d ll three planes intersect in the same line. e ll three planes intersect in a single point. f ll three planes coincide. Solution: a t least 9 points must exist. (Every plane contains at least three different, non-collinear points. M N Q b t least 6 points must exist. This relationship is not unlike considering only two intersecting planes since, if only two of the three planes intersect, the third plane would have to be parallel to one of the two intersecting planes.

(The reasoning is similar to part e in example 1 about three lines coinciding Example 3: onsider three spaces and the relationships that may exist between the spaces.
