Study Notes
Angle Basics
- An angle is created by two rays or line segments that share a common endpoint.
- The common endpoint is known as the vertex of the angle.
Types of Angles
- Acute Angle: Measures less than 90 degrees, indicating a sharp or narrow angle.
- Obtuse Angle: Measures greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, producing a wider angle.
- Right Angle: Exactly measures 90 degrees, often represented by a small square at the vertex in diagrams.
- Straight Angle: Measures exactly 180 degrees, forming a straight line.
Angle Relationships
- Adjacent Angles: Two angles that share a common side and vertex but do not overlap.
Angle Naming Conventions
- Angles can be named using three points. For instance, ABC refers to one way to denote an angle, where the vertex is the middle letter.
- Different arrangements of points can denote the same angle; for example, BAC also refers to the same angle as ABC.
- Naming can also specify angles in certain color-coded contexts, as seen with angles labeled CEB, BED, BAM, AEC, and GFC, all identified by visual cues like color.
Rays
- The two sides of an angle are referred to as rays. Each ray extends infinitely in one direction from the vertex.
Symbol for Right Angle
- The symbol 90⁰ indicates an angle that is a right angle.
