Angles Around a Point
Definition
- Angles around a point are a set of angles that share a common vertex (endpoint) and have a common initial ray (starting point).
Properties
- The sum of the measures of the angles around a point is always 360°.
- The angles around a point can be divided into two or more angles by drawing rays from the common vertex.
Types of Angles Around a Point
- Adjacent Angles: Angles that share a common vertex, a common side, and a common initial ray.
- Vertical Angles: Angles that are formed by two intersecting lines and share a common vertex.
Theorems
- The Angle Sum Theorem: The sum of the measures of the angles around a point is always 360°.
- The Vertical Angle Theorem: Vertical angles are equal in measure.
Applications
- Angles around a point are used in various fields, such as:
- Geometry: to calculate the sum of angles in a polygon.
- Trigonometry: to solve triangular problems.
- Real-world applications: to calculate angles in architecture, engineering, and design.
