Geometry -- Study and teaching
Read all the right angles formed by the lines _a b_ and _c d_.
(DIAGRAM 10.)
Why are the adjacent angles _c e b_, _b e d_, right angles?
What is a right angle?
Read four right angles whose vertices are at _n_.
Which is the greater, the right angle _p q r_, or the right angle _t s
u_?
Can one right angle be greater than another?
Read six acute angles whose vertices are at _n_.
Why is _m n g_ an acute angle?
What is an acute angle?
Which is greater, the acute angle _m n g_, or the acute angle _l n m_?
May one acute angle be greater than another?
What three acute angles are equal to one right angle?
[Illustration: Diagram 10.]
Which of the two acute angles _v f w_, _y x z_ is the greater?
Read four obtuse angles whose vertices are at _n_.
Why is _f n m_ an obtuse angle?
What is an obtuse angle?
What does obtuse mean? Acute?
By what other name are both called?
Which is greater, the large acute angle 1 4 2, or the small obtuse
angle 1 4 3?
How much greater than the right angle is the obtuse angle _f n l_?
How much less than a right angle is _f n i_?
[Illustration: Diagram 11.]
LESSON ELEVENTH.
RELATIONS OF LINES.
PERPENDICULAR LINES.
What kind of angles do the lines _a b_ and _c d_ make with each other?
(DIAGRAM 11.)
Then they are perpendicular to each other.
What line is perpendicular to _x y_?
Why is it perpendicular to it?
What line is perpendicular to _z_ 1?
When is a line said to be perpendicular to another?
Can a line standing alone be properly called a perpendicular line?
What two lines are perpendicular to the lines _r s_?
Is the line _g h_ perpendicular to the line _i j_? Why?
What other line is perpendicular to the line _i j_?
Read three lines that are perpendicular to the line _a b_.
PARALLEL LINES.
Do the lines _k l_, _m n_, differ in direction? Then do they form any
angle with each other?
They are said to be _parallel_ to each other.
Read four other lines that are parallel with _k l_.
What line is parallel with 2 10?
Why?
_Lines are parallel with each other when they do not differ in
direction._
OBLIQUE LINES.
What kind of angles do the lines _u t_ and 8 9 form with each other?
Then they are said to be oblique to each other.
_Lines are oblique to each other when they form oblique angles._
See Note C, Appendix.
[Illustration: Diagram 12.]
LESSON TWELFTH.
REVIEW.
Read five lines that are perpendicular to the line _a b_. (DIAGRAM
12.)
Five that are perpendicular to _c d_.
Two that are perpendicular to _u v_, and meet it. Three that do not
meet it.
Why are _o p_ and _m n_ perpendicular to each other?
When are lines said to be perpendicular to each other?
