2. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(geometry)

   Consecutive interior angles are the two pairs of angles that: [4] [2] have distinct vertex points, lie on the same side of the transversal and; are both interior. Two lines are parallel if and only if the two angles of any pair of consecutive interior angles of any transversal are supplementary (sum to 180°).

3. Internal and external angles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angles

   The interior angle concept can be extended in a consistent way to crossed polygons such as star polygons by using the concept of directed angles.In general, the interior angle sum in degrees of any closed polygon, including crossed (self-intersecting) ones, is then given by 180(n–2k)°, where n is the number of vertices, and the strictly positive integer k is the number of total (360 ...

4. Playfair's axiom - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playfair's_axiom

   If the sum of the interior angles α and β is less than 180°, the two straight lines, produced indefinitely, meet on that side. Euclid's parallel postulate states: If a line segment intersects two straight lines forming two interior angles on the same side that sum to less than two right angles , then the two lines, if extended indefinitely ...

5. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

   Equivalently, a convex quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if each exterior angle is equal to the opposite interior angle. In 1836 Duncan Gregory generalized this result as follows: Given any convex cyclic 2n-gon, then the two sums of alternate interior angles are each equal to (n-1). [4]

6. Angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

   Angles formed by two rays are also known as plane angles as they lie in the plane that contains the rays. Angles are also formed by the intersection of two planes; these are called dihedral angles. Two intersecting curves may also define an angle, which is the angle of the rays lying tangent to the respective curves at their point of intersection.

7. Parallel postulate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate

   If the sum of the interior angles α and β is less than 180°, the two straight lines, produced indefinitely, meet on that side. In geometry, the parallel postulate, also called Euclid's fifth postulate because it is the fifth postulate in Euclid's Elements, is a distinctive axiom in Euclidean geometry.
