Study Notes
Angle Definitions
- An angle is formed by the union of two rays sharing a common endpoint.
- An acute angle measures more than 0° and less than 90°.
- A right angle has a precise measure of 90°.
- An obtuse angle is defined as being greater than 90° but less than 180°.
- The bisector of an angle is a set of points that divides the angle into two equal angles.
- Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles, creating angles of 90°.
Specialized Angle Concepts
- The vertex of angle ∠ABC is denoted as point B.
- The bisector of an obtuse angle creates two acute angles.
- An acute angle cannot measure 0°, as it must be greater than 0°.
- It is incorrect to assert that an obtuse angle measures 180°, as it is defined to be less than that.
- If ∠MPR is acute and line PQ lies within it, then ∠QPR is also acute.
- Perpendicular lines consistently intersect to create four right angles.
