    Study Notes

    Parts of an Angle

    • An angle is formed by two rays that share a common vertex.
    • The initial side is one of the rays.
    • The terminal side is the other ray.

    Naming an Angle

    • Angles are named using three capital letters.
    • The middle letter refers to the vertex.

    Angle Measurement

    • Angles are measured in degrees.
    • A full rotation of a ray creates a 360° angle

    Measuring an Angle

    • Use a protractor to measure angles.
    • Align the protractor's midpoint with the vertex of the angle.
    • Read the degree marking on the protractor where the terminal side intersects it.

    Constructing an Angle

    • Draw a ray.
    • Place the protractor's midpoint at the endpoint of the ray.
    • Mark the desired degree on the protractor.
    • Draw a second ray from the endpoint to the marked point.

    Types of Angles

    • Acute Angle: Less than 90°
    • Right Angle: Exactly 90°
    • Obtuse Angle: Greater than 90° but less than 180°
    • Straight Angle: Exactly 180°
    • Reflex Angle: Greater than 180° but less than 360°

    Straight Angle

    • A straight angle is formed when two rays are prolongations of each other.
    • It measures 180°.

    Right Angle

    • A right angle is half of a straight angle.
    • It measures 90°.

    Acute Angle

    • An acute angle is smaller than a right angle.
    • It measures less than 90°.

    Obtuse Angle

    • An obtuse angle is larger than a right angle but smaller than a straight angle.
    • It measures between 90° and 180°.

    Reflex Angle

    • A reflex angle is larger than a straight angle but smaller than a full rotation.
    • It measures between 180° and 360°.
