Applications of this chapter The concept of lines and angles are used in our daily life. Architects and engineers use angles to design houses, machines, buildings, roads, and bridges. Various types of angles are used in yoga positions, games fields, paintings and so on. We can see various lines in classrooms on the floor, doors, windows, and zebra crossing on the road.

Maths History Euclid of Alexandria was the most prominent mathematician best known for his expertise in geometry. His work named Elements is one of the most influential work in the world of mathematics. In the Elements, Euclid deduced the theorems (now known as Euclidean geometry) from a small set of axioms. He is also known for his works about spherical geometry, number theory and mathematical rigour.

199 Lines and Angles CHAPTER 6 6.1 Relationship between Lines A Points, lines and planes Points, lines and planes are undefined items that starting the topic of geometry. The most fundamental object in geometry is a point. A point is usually represented by a dot and frequently named by a capital letter. However, a line is a connection between two or more points. A plane is a flat, two dimensional surface that extends infinitely far. It can be visualised as a large sheet of paper. A plane also can be represented in drawings of four sided figure. For example, Plane P Plane Q Objective : To investigate the features of points, lines, rays and line segments. Instruction : Do this activity in groups of four. 1.

Description of objects Notation Point • has position • has no size Point A Point B Line • has an infinite number of points • has no width • can be straight or curved Line I Curved line L Line segment • is a part of a straight line between and including two end points • has length Line segment AB A B Ray • is a part of a line with one end point • has one end indicated by an arrowhead to show that a ray can be extended in that direction indefinitely Ray AB or ray L A B L Ray MN N M Point of intersection • is the point where two lines meet A is a point of intersection. A Plane • is a flat surface • has no thickness Points A, B and C lie on the same plane. A B C A line refers to a straight line while a curve refers to a curved line. When a surface is not flat, it is called a curved surface. B Parallel line, transversal and perpendicular line (I) Parallel line Parallel lines are lines that will never meet (intersect) no matter how long the lines are extended. The symbol ‘//’ is used to represent ‘is parallel to’. ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths


201 Lines and Angles CHAPTER 6 For example, A C B D Z Y W X AB // CD WX // ZY and WZ // XY Single arrowhead or double arrowhead can be used to show that the lines are parallel. A set square and a ruler can be used to determine whether two lines are parallel. For example, in the diagram, PQ is parallel to RS because the edge of the set square coincides with PQ and RS as it slides along the ruler. (II) Transversal A transversal is a line which intersects two or more straight lines. For example, B A (III) Perpendicular line Perpendicular lines are two lines that are at right angles to each other. The symbol ‘ ’ is used to represent ‘is perpendicular to’. A protractor or a set square can be used to determine whether a line is perpendicular to another line. For example, A D C B P Q R AB CD PQ QR P Q R S Parallel lines are lines with the same direction. They remain the same distance apart and never meet. A perpendicular line is a straight line that meets or intersects with another straight line at a right angle, 90°. AB is a transversal EXAMPLE 1 For the diagram given, determine whether (a) JK is parallel to LM, (b) PQ is perpendicular to LM. K P Q M J L ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths

203 Lines and Angles CHAPTER 6 6.2 Dividing Line Segment into Multiple Parts A Constructing line segments (I) Constructing line segments with given length A straight edge is a construction instrument with straight edges. Geometrical constructions are precise drawings of geometrical figures which satisfy certain conditions, using only a straight edge and a pair of compasses. For example, when an architect draws a house plan, he is performing geometrical constructions. A line segment is part of a straight line between two points with a finite length. For example, A B 3 cm AB is a line segment of length 3 cm. The length of a line segment can be estimated by using another object of a known length. For example, if the length of a key is 3 cm, then the length of line AB can be estimated to be approximately 11 cm. The length of a line segment can be measured more accurately by using a ruler. Recall that a rhombus has all equal sides and equal opposite angles. Each diagonal divides the rhombus into 2 congruent isosceles triangles. How do you know the triangles are isoceles? How do you know the triangles are congruent? Discuss with your friends and investigate ways to cut line segments into 2 equal parts.

204 CHAPTER 6 Lines and Angles Step 2 Open the compasses and measure on a ruler so that the opening is exactly 6 cm wide. Step 3 Place the point of the compasses at M. Draw a small arc which intersects the straight line. Mark the intersection point as N. A line segment MN of length 6 cm is constructed. M N Therefore, MN is a line segment with a length of 6 cm.

(II) Constructing line segments with different ratios A given line segment can be divided internally in a given ratio. For example, P 12 cm Q A line segment of length 12 cm can be divided in the ratio 2 : 1. PQ is the line segment of length 12 cm and R divides the line in the ratio 2 : 1. To divide the line in the ratio 2 : 1, let RQ = x and PR = 2x, where PR + RQ = 2x + x 12 = 3x x = 4 So, PR = 8 cm and RQ = 4 cm. Mark point R 8 cm away from point P. P 8 cm R 4 cm Q EXAMPLE 4 Construct a line segment AB in the ratio 3 : 2 if the given length of AB is 20 cm. ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths

An angle is formed when two straight lines meet at a point. • The point is called the vertex. • The two straight lines are called arms. There are three ways of denoting and labelling an angle. For example, Diagram Three capital letters One capital letter One small letter x P Q R /PQR or PQ ^ R /RQP or RQ ^ P /Q or ^ Q x The symbols ‘/’ and ‘^’ are used to denote angles. When labelling an angle with three capital letters, the letter representing the vertex of the angle must be written in the middle. Angle Arm Vertex Arm ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths

(a) The inner scale measures angles in an anticlockwise direction from 0° to 180°. (b) The outer scale measures angles in a clockwise direction from 0° to 180°. Steps to measure a given angle: (a) /PQR (angle less than 180°) 1 Place the centre of the protractor on vertex Q. 2 Align the arm PQ with the baseline of the protractor. 3 Start measuring from 0°, that is the outer scale. 4 Read from the outer scale to obtain the value of /PQR. Note: Make sure the arms PQ and QR are extended. Therefore, /PQR = 115°. (b) /JKL (angle more than 180°) 1 Place the centre of the protractor on vertex K. 2 Align the arm JK with the baseline of the protractor. 3 Start measuring from 0°, that is the inner scale. 4 Read the value from the inner scale, that is 120º.
