Tools to Reason With: Fundamental Geometrical Angle Relationships

• Vertical Angles ($\angle$'s)     * Description/Name: Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines. They are situated opposite each other at the vertex.     * Value: Vertical angles are always equal to each other ($\text{Value: } L = L$).     * Equations and Identification:         * $\angle 2 = \angle 3$         * $\angle 1 = \angle 4$     * Annotated Notes Logic: The transcript identifies vertical angles based on the relationship between their positions across a common vertex.

• Adjacent Angles ($\angle$'s)     * Description/Name: Angles that are next to one another, sharing a common ray and a common vertex.     * Value: The value is generally unknown unless given by specific measures or a known total.     * Equation: The sum of the parts equals the whole.         * $\angle 1 + \angle 2 = \text{whole}$

• Linear Pairs     * Description/Name: A specific type of adjacent angle formed when two rays are opposite rays (creating a straight line).     * Value: The sum of a linear pair is always $180^\circ$.     * Equation:         * $\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180^\circ$

• Complementary Angles ($\angle$'s)     * Description/Name: Two angles whose measures sum to a right angle.     * Value: The total value is exactly $90^\circ$.     * Examples provided:         * If $\angle A = 40^\circ$ and $\angle B = 50^\circ$, then $\angle A + \angle B = 90^\circ$.     * Equation:         * $\text{Part } 1 + \text{Part } 2 = 90^\circ$         * $\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 90^\circ$

• Supplementary Angles ($\angle$'s)     * Description/Name: Two angles whose measures sum to a straight angle.     * Value: The total value is exactly $180^\circ$.     * Examples provided:         * An angle of $60^\circ$ and an angle of $120^\circ$ result in $60^\circ + 120^\circ = 180^\circ$.     * Equation:         * $\angle + \angle = 180^\circ$         * $\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ$
