Study Notes
Geometry Fundamentals
- Two rays sharing a common endpoint form an angle.
- Angles created by the intersection of two planes are known as dihedral angles.
Angle Measurements
- The magnitude of an angle is referred to as its measure or size.
Etymology
- The word 'angle' originates from the Latin term 'angulus,' meaning "corner" or "a small bend."
Euclid's Definition
- Euclid defines a plane angle as the figure formed by two rays extending from a common endpoint, emphasizing the relationship between the rays in a flat, two-dimensional space.
