3. 1. Introduction:
Geometry is the branch of mathematics which deals with shape, size, position,
spatial relationships and properties of different figures. There are different
parameter involved to define a shape. The two important parameters are
lines and angles. In this article, we are going to discuss two important parameters
called lines and angles in detail.
The Presentation on lines and angles are given, which covers the various concepts
such as parallel lines, transversal, angles, intersecting lines, interior angles are
explained with the examples.
Hence, The entire geometry begins with a point. A point is a dimensionless entity
which specifies the location or position. It is represented using a dot symbol and its
length is zero.

Zero dimension
To draw a line are to construct the geometrical diagram we need some reference
to draw a line the reference is called point.
4. 2.Basic Terms and Definition
What is a point, line , line
segment and Ray?
5. And some more basic term regarding to Lines and notation.
6. What is an angle?
If a ray is rotated about its end point then the measure of its rotation
between the final and initial position of the ray is known as an angle. In fig. 𝑂𝐵
is the initial position of the ray and when it is rotated about its point i.e. O, the
final position is represented by ray 𝑂𝐴.
The measure of this rotation is measured in angles. The angle between the
initial and final position of a ray is measured as ∠AOB.

Vertex
OA and OB are the arms and they making angle at O called vertex.
9. Complementary Angle: Two angle whose sum is 90 Degree is called Complementary
angle
Supplementary Angle: Two angle whose sum is 180 degree are called supplementary
angle
13. 3. Intersecting Lines and Non-intersecting Lines
When two or more lines cross each other in
a plane, they are called intersecting lines.
The intersecting lines share a common
point, which exists on all the intersecting
lines, and is called the point of intersection
Here, lines PQ and RS intersect at point O,
which is the point of intersection.

Properties of intersecting lines
1.The intersecting lines (two or more) meet only at one point always.
2.The intersecting lines can cross each other at any angle. This angle
formed is always greater than 0 degree and less than 180 degree.
3.Two intersecting lines form a pair of vertical angles. The vertical
angles are opposite angles with a common (which is the point of
intersection).
Here, ∠a and ∠c are vertical angles and are equal. Also, ∠b and ∠d
are vertical angles and equal to each other.
∠a + ∠d = straight angle = 180°
Intersecting Lines
14. Non-intersecting Lines
When more than two lines do not intersect with each other, they are termed
as non-intersecting lines.
Non-intersecting lines hold the following properties.
1.Non-intersecting lines never share any endpoint.
2.They never meet.
3.The distance between the two parallel non-intersecting lines is fixed.
4.In the case of two parallel lines, the perpendicular line drawn at any point
to one line will be perpendicular to the other line as well.
5.The length of the common perpendicular between the two parallels at any
location will always be the same.
Observe the following figure of two non-intersecting, parallel lines ‘PQ' and
‘RS' with a perpendicular distance denoted by 'c' and 'd'.

15. 4. Pairs of Angles:
You have learnt the definition of some of the pairs of angles such as Complementary
Angles, supplementary angles, adjacent angles, linear pair of angles etc.
Now, Let us find out the relation between the angles formed when a ray stands on a
line.
16. This is about Linear pair of
angles
From Axiom 6.1 and 6.2
17. An axiom, postulate or assumption is a
statement that is taken to be true
What is Axiom?
Axiom 6.1: If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed
is 180 degree. Then they are called a Linear pair of angles.
Axiom 6.2: If the sum of two adjacent angle is 180 degree , then the common arms
of the angles form a line
“Thetwo axioms above togetheris called the Linear pair axioms”
Now Let us study the Properties of Lines and angles using some Theorems
A theorem is a statement that can be demonstrated to be
true by accepted mathematical operations, Postulate

33. 7.Angle Sum Property of a triangles:
One common property about triangles is that all three interior angles add up to 180
degrees. This now brings us to an important theorem in geometry known as Triangle
Angle Sum Theorem. According to the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, the sum of the
three interior angles in a triangle is always 180°
