Lesson Goals

  • Recognize the properties of opposite, supplementary, and complementary angles.
  • Recognize the properties of angles produced by parallel lines and a transversal (i.e., alternate, corresponding, and co-interior angles).
  • Solve for unknown angles in a diagram using these angle properties.

Try This

In the figure below, the line through \(R\) and \(S\) is parallel to the line through \(V\) and \(U\). Two line segments, \(RT\) and \(TU\), are drawn such that \(T\) is between the two parallel lines and \(\angle SRT=18^\circ\). Find the measure of the obtuse angle \(\angle RTU\), if \(\angle RTU\) is twice is large as \(\angle TUV\).
