Angles Analogy Examples
Vocabulary Term
ALTERNATE EXTERIOR
ANGLES
Analogy (______is like ______ because ...)
The angles (A) and (C) on the outside of the parallel lines on
the ramp are examples in the video game Donkey Kong of
alternate exterior angles because they are on the outside of
the parallel lines on different sides of the transversal
(ramp).
ALTERNATE INTERIOR
ANGLES
The ramp 1 top upper corner (D) and bottom of the ramp
underneath (B) are like alternate interior angles in your math
problem because they are both inside the parallel lines
(represented by different levels you travel in the game to
reach the top to beat Donkey Kong) and opposite of the
transversal (ramp).
COMPLEMENTARY
ANGLES
Complementary angles are like the two minion angles in the
diagram, together when you add up their angles (or
compliments) you get a right angle or 90o.
SUPPLEMENTARY
ANGLES
Supplementary angles are like the half of the pie pictured
above. When you add the two angles of the top two pieces
you get 180o or half the pie.
PARALLEL LINES
The lines that mark off 10 yard increments on a football
field are examples of parallel lines because they never
intersect.
CONGRUENT
The squares of the rubik’s cube are congruent because they
are equal in size and shape. In geometry congruent means
equal.
VERTICAL ANGLES
Vertical angles are like c and d in the scissor above because
they are across from each other at the vertex (or in this
case the screw which holds the arms of the scissors
together).
TRANSVERSAL
A transversal is like the pole (yellow) in the stair rails above
which supports or connects the various parallel poles (red) in
the staircase rails pictured above.
