Lines and Angles

Comprehension of lines and angles is critical in the study of geometry. Whether we know it or not, we see all sorts of angles on an everyday basis. The corners of a room, the way a ladder rests against a house, and the inclination of a hill all have angles that can be measured.

In order to continue our study of geometry, it will be necessary to learn about the different properties of lines, angles, and their measures. The sections below introduce the different classifications of angles (acute, obtuse, right, or straight) as well as some special properties of pairs of angles.
