ANGLE PAIR

RELATIONSHIPS
CAN IDENTIFY SPECIAL ANGLE PAIRS AND USE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO
FIND ANGLE MEASURE.
 A. Vertical Angles

Previously, you learned that two angles are adjacent if they share a common vertex
and side but have no common interior points. In this lesson, you will study other
relationships between pairs of angles.

Two angles are vertical angles if their

sides form two pairs of opposite rays.

Vertical Angle Pairs

1
4 2 are CONGRUENT
3

1 and 3 are vertical angles. 2 and 4 are vertical angles.

 B. Linear Pairs
Two adjacent angles are a linear pair if the form a straight line.

30°
5 6 150°

Linear Angle Pairs

5 and 6 are a linear pair. add up to 180°.
 Finding Angle Measures

In the stair railing shown, 6 has a measure of 130˚. Find the measures of the other
three angles.

SOLUTION

6 and 8 are vertical angles. So, they are congruent

and have the same measure.

m 8 = m 6 = 130˚ 50°

6 and 7 are a linear pair. So, the sum of their 5

130°
130 8 6130°
measures is 180˚. 130
° 7 °
m6 + m7 = 180˚ 50°
130˚ + m7 = 180˚
m7 = 50˚
7 and 5 are vertical angles. So, they are congruent
and have the same measure.
All 4 angles together equal 360°
 C. Supplementary Angles
Definition: Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their
measures is 180 degrees. Each angle is the supplement of the other.

1 2

20
160
These are supplements of each other because their
angles add up to 180.
Example 1 Find the value of x.

x 20

x + 20 = 180
x = 160
Example 2 Find the value of x.

x
65

x + 65 = 180
x = 115
Example 3 Find the value of x.

(7x  10) 3x

(7x + 10) + 3x = 180

10x + 10 = 180
10x = 170

x = 17
 D. Complementary Angles
Definition: Two angles are complementary if the sum of their
measures is 90 degrees. Each angle is the complement of the other.

1
2

30
60
These are complements of each other because their angles
add up to be 90.
Example 4 Find the value of x.

x
x + 15 = 90
15
x = 75
Example 5 Find the value of x.

(4x + 3)
(x - 8)

(4x + 3) + (x - 8) = 90

5x - 5 = 90
5x = 95
x = 19
 E. Angle Bisector
Definition: An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent
angles. It cuts the angle in half.

1. What is the difference of vertical
angle and linear pair.
2. How about supplementary angles
and complementary angles.
