Vertical Angles
Vertical angles created by intersecting lines are a
pair of angles whose sides are two pairs of
opposite rays.
Angles 1 and 3 are vertical
angles.
Angles 2 and 4 are vertical
angles.
Vertical angles are congruent.

Angles and Parallel Lines Property
If any two distinct coplanar lines are cut by a
transversal, then a pair of corresponding angles,
alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior
angles are congruent if, and only if, the lines are
parallel.

Constructing Parallel Lines
Place the side of triangle ABC on line m. Next, place
a ruler on side AC. Keeping the ruler stationary, slide
triangle ABC along the ruler’s edge until its side AB
(marked A′B′ ) contains point P. Use the side to draw
the line ℓ through P parallel to m.

The Sum of the Measures of the
Angles of a Triangle
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of
a triangle is 180°.

Example 11-10
In the framework for a tire jack, ABCD is a
parallelogram. If ADC of the parallelogram
measures 50°, what are the measures of the other
angles of the parallelogram?

Example 11-11
In the figure, m || n and k is
a transversal. Explain why
m1 + m 2 = 180°.
Because m || n, angles 1 and 3 are corresponding
angles, so m1 = m3.
Angles 2 and 3 are supplementary angles, so
m2 + m3 = 180°.
Substituting m1 for m3, m1 + m2 = 180°.

The Sum of the Measures of the Interior
Angles of a Convex Polygon with n sides
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of
any convex polygon with n sides is (n – 2)180°.

n-gon is

The Sum of the Measures of the Exterior
Angles of a Convex n-gon
The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of
a convex n-gon is 360°.

Example 11-12
a. Find the measure of each interior angle of a
regular decagon.
The sum of the measures of the angles of a
decagon is (10 − 2) · 180° = 1440°.
The measure of each interior angle is

Example 11-12
(continued)
b. Find the number of sides of a regular polygon
each of whose interior angles has measure 175°.
Since each interior angle has measure 175°, each
exterior angle has measure 180° − 175° = 5°.
The sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon
is 360°, so there are
exterior angles.
Thus, there are 72 sides.

Example 11-13
Lines l and k are parallel, and the angles at A and B
are as shown. Find x, the measure of BCA.

Example 11-13
(continued)
Extend BC and obtain the
transversal BC that intersects
line k at D.
The marked angles at B and D
are alternate interior angles,
so they are congruent and
mD = 80°.
mACD = 180° − (60° + 80°) = 40°
x = mBCA = 180° − 40° = 140°

Walks Around Stars
The star can be obtained from a regular convex
pentagon by finding its vertices as intersections of
the lines containing the non-adjacent sides of the
pentagon.
The measure of each
interior angle of the star
is 36°.
