Answers
Answer:
Here are some basic definitions and properties of lines and angles in geometry. These concepts are tested in many competitive entrance exams like GMAT, GRE, CAT.
Line segment: A line segment has two end points with a definite length.
line segment
Ray: A ray has one end point and infinitely extends in one direction.

Straight line: A straight line has neither starting nor end point and is of infinite length.
line segment
Acute angle: The angle that is between 0° and 90° is an acute angle, ∠A in the figure below.
acute angle
Obtuse angle: The angle that is between 90° and 180° is an obtuse angle, ∠B as shown below.
obtuse angle
Right angle: The angle that is 90° is a Right angle, ∠C as shown below.
right angle
Straight angle: The angle that is 180° is a straight angle, ∠AOB in the figure below.
Supplementary angles:
supplementary angles
In the figure above, ∠AOC + ∠COB = ∠AOB = 180°
If the sum of two angles is 180° then the angles are called supplementary angles.
Two right angles always supplement each other.
The pair of adjacent angles whose sum is a straight angle is called a linear pair.
Complementary angles:
complementary angles
∠COA + ∠AOB = 90°
If the sum of two angles is 90° then the two angles are called complementary angles.
