use geometric notation and distinguish congruence from similarity
Concept
Point, line, and plane are accepted undefined terms.
Order matters in ray and angle notation.
Congruent figures have equal size and shape; similar figures have proportional corresponding sides.
Explain · 2.5 minSource: 5
Model the Skill: use geometric notation and distinguish congruence from similarity
Interpret $\overleftrightarrow{AB}$, $\overrightarrow{AB}$, $\overline{AB}$, and $\angle ABC$.
$\overleftrightarrow{AB}$ extends in both directions; $\overrightarrow{AB}$ starts at A.
$\overline{AB}$ has endpoints A and B.
In $\angle ABC$, B is the vertex.

measure, classify, and relate angles
Concept
Acute angles are below 90°, right angles equal 90°, obtuse angles lie between 90° and 180°, and straight angles equal 180°.
Vertical angles are congruent; a linear pair is supplementary.
Explain · 2.5 minSource: 9
Model the Skill: measure, classify, and relate angles
Two lines intersect and one angle is $47^\circ$. Find and classify the other three.
The vertical angle is also $47^\circ$.
Each adjacent angle is $180^\circ-47^\circ=133^\circ$.
The pair is two acute vertical angles and two obtuse vertical angles.

Adjacent does not automatically mean supplementary.
Complementary means a sum of 90°, not equal measures.

use parallel-line relationships to solve angle equations
1
Corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles are congruent.
2
Same-side interior angles are supplementary.
Explain · 2.5 minSource: 13
Model the Skill: use parallel-line relationships to solve angle equations
Corresponding angles measure $(3x+10)^\circ$ and $(5x-20)^\circ$. Solve.
Corresponding angles are congruent, so $3x+10=5x-20$.
$30=2x$, so $x=15$.
Both angles measure $55^\circ$.

You Try: use parallel-line relationships to solve angle equations
Student practice
Sketch the parallel lines and identify the angle pair before writing an equation. Solve for $x$ when same-side interior angles are $(4x+8)^\circ$ and $(6x+12)^\circ$.
In a triangle, one base angle matches a $64^\circ$ alternate-interior angle formed by a transversal across parallel lines. If the other base angle is $53^\circ$, find the triangle's third angle.
Feedback and solution
$4x+8+6x+12=180$, so $x=16$; the angles are $72^\circ$ and $108^\circ$.
The parallel-line relationship gives a triangle base angle of $64^\circ$. Then $180^\circ-64^\circ-53^\circ=63^\circ$.
