Lines and
Angles
5.1 INTRODUCTION
You already know how to identify different lines, line segments and angles in a given
shape. Can you identify the different line segments and angles formed in the following
figures? (Fig 5.1)
(i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
Fig 5.1
Can you also identify whether the angles made are acute or obtuse or right?
Recall that a line segment has two end points. If we extend the two end points in either
direction endlessly, we get a line. Thus, we can say that a line has no end points. On the other
hand, recall that a ray has one end point (namely its starting point). For example, look at the
figures given below:
Fig 5.2
Here, Fig 5.2 (i) shows a line segment, Fig 5.2 (ii) shows a line and Fig 5.2 (iii) is that
of a ray. A line segment PQ is generally denoted by the symbol 
PQ
, a line AB is denoted by
the symbol AB
 
and the ray OP is denoted by OP

. Give some examples of line segments and
rays from your daily life and discuss them with your friends.

LINES AND ANGLES 75
Again recall that an angle is formed when lines or line segments meet. In Fig 5.1,
observe the corners. These corners are formed when two lines or line segments intersect
at a point. For example, look at the figures given below:
Fig 5.3
In Fig 5.3 (i) line segments AB and BC intersect at B to form angle
ABC, and again line segments BC and AC intersect at C to form angle
ACB and so on. Whereas, in Fig 5.3 (ii) lines PQ and RS intersect at O
to form four angles POS, SOQ, QOR and ROP. An angle ABC is
represented by the symbol ?ABC. Thus, in Fig 5.3 (i), the three angles
formed are ?ABC, ?BCA and ?BAC, and in Fig 5.3 (ii), the four
angles formed are ? POS, ? SOQ, ? QOR and ? POR. Y ou have already
studied how to classify the angles as acute, obtuse or right angle.
Note: While referring to the measure of an angle ABC, we shall write m? ABC as simply
? ABC. The context will make it clear, whether we are referring to the angle or its
measure.

5.2.1  Complementary Angles
When the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°, the angles are called complementary
angles.

List ten figures around you
and identify the acute, obtuse

Whenever two angles are complementary , each angle is said to be the complement
of the other angle. In the above diagram (Fig 5.4), the ‘30° angle’ is the complement of the
‘60° angle’ and vice versa.
Are these two angles complementary?

FAQs on NCERT Textbook: Lines & Angles - NCERT Textbooks (Class 6 to Class 12) - CTET & State TET

1. What are lines and angles?
Ans. Lines are straight, infinitely long geometrical figures that extend in both directions. Angles are formed by two lines that intersect at a point. They are used to measure the amount of rotation between the two lines.
2. What is the difference between acute and obtuse angles?
Ans. Acute angles are angles that are less than 90 degrees, while obtuse angles are angles that are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
3. What is the sum of interior angles of a triangle?
Ans. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees. This is known as the Triangle Sum Theorem.
4. What is a perpendicular line?
Ans. A perpendicular line is a line that intersects another line at a right angle or 90-degree angle. In other words, it is a line that forms a square corner with another line.
5. How do you find the measure of an angle?
Ans. The measure of an angle can be found using a protractor. Place the protractor on the angle and read the measure of the angle on the protractor's scale. The measure is usually given in degrees.
