2.5 Angle Relationships

When two lines intersect, they form four angles.  The point of intersection of the lines is the vertex of all four angles.  In the activity, you’ll investigate relationships between pairs of these angles.
Open the Geogebra box below and construct two intersecting lines.
Open the Geogebra box below and construct two intersecting lines.

Create 2 intersecting lines and label as shown above. Measure the 4 angles and display their measures on the screen.

What can you conclude about angles CEA and CEB? Drag points B and C around. Does the same relationship exist?

Fill in the blanks to complete a conjecture that is always true about linear pairs. If ____ angles form a ______________ of angles, then they ____________________________. 

Calculate the ratio of angles CEA and angles DEB.  The ratio is found by dividing the two angle measures.  What is the ratio of any vertical angles in your sketch? Will this ratio ever change, even if the angles change? Why? Does this convince you the vertical angle conjecture (above) is true?

Calculate the ratio of angle AEC and angle CEB.  The ratio is found by dividing the two angle measures.  What is the ratio of any linear pair in your sketch? Will this ratio ever change, even if the angles change? Why? Does this convince you the linear pair conjecture is true?

Testing your understanding

Notes: Write your header for 2.5: Angle Relationships.  Write your 2 conjectures in your notes.  These are started in your book on page 132 and 133. They will be put on the board in a bit. Homework: On a sheet of notebook paper, complete p.134 #1-16 (you already did #12 above)
