Engineering Mathematics : Plane Geometry Part 1

Fundamental Principles Angles Acute angle = less 90 deg Obtuse angle = more than 90 and less than 180 deg Straight angle =180 deg Vertex of the angle is point where two lines meet Supplementary angles have a sum of 180 deg Complementary angles have a sum of 90 deg The base angles of an isosceles (two...
