7-2 Angles
An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint, called the vertex. An angle can be named by its vertex or by its vertex and a point from each ray. The middle point in the name should always be the vertex.
Angles are measured in degrees. The number of degrees determines the type of angle. Use the symbol ° to show degrees: 90° means “90 degrees.”

An acute angle measures less than 90°.
A right angle measures exactly 90°.

To estimate the measure of an angle, compare it with an angle whose measure you already know. A right angle has half the measure of a straight angle. A 45° angle has half the measure of a right angle.

When angles have the same measure, they are said to be congruent.
Vertical angles are formed opposite each other when two lines intersect. Vertical angles have the same measure, so they are always congruent. MRP and NRQ are vertical angles.

7-3 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines. Eight angles are formed when a transversal intersects two lines. There are 4 interior angles and 4 exterior angles. When those two lines are parallel, all of the acute angles formed are congruent, and all of the obtuse angles formed are congruent. These obtuse and acute angles are supplementary.
