Parallel Lines and Transversals
... Now, because 6 α is made by the same intersecting lines and is opposite the 80◦ angle, these two angles are vertical angles. Since you already learned that vertical angles are congruent, we conclude m6 α = 80◦ . Finally, compare angles α and β. They both measure 80◦ , so they are congruent. This wil ...

lines and angles
... meaning will be clear from the context. Sometimes small letters l, m, n, etc. will be used to denote lines. If three or more points lie on the same line, they are called collinear points; otherwise they are called non-collinear points. Recall that an angle is formed when two rays originate from the ...

Transversals
... actually, whenever two rays create an angle of less than 180 degrees, they also create another angle whose measure is 360 degrees minus the measure of the smaller angle. As we said before, the smaller angle, whose measure is less than 180 degrees, is the interior angle. The other angle, which seems ...

Perspective (graphical)
Perspective (from Latin: perspicere to see through) in the graphic arts is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are smaller as their distance from the observer increases; and that they are subject to foreshortening, meaning that an object's dimensions along the line of sight are shorter than its dimensions across the line of sight.Italian Renaissance painters including Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca and Luca Pacoima studied linear perspective, wrote treatises on it, and incorporated it into their artworks, thus contributing to the mathematics of art.
