Week 2
Lesson 2 Angles and Angle Measure

terminal side
What is an angle? C

Angle is the figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint.


The two rays are called the sides and the common initial point is
the vertex. If the angle is considered as turning ray, the starting A
position is called the initial side and the other is called the terminal side. B
initial side

How to name angles:


1. We can name angles by using THREE capital letters like: ABC or DEF. The middle letter is
called the VERTEX of the angle. The above angles are read "angle ABC" and "angle DEF." This
leads us to the second way we can name angles.

2. We can name angles by using the vertex. For example, ABC, can also be called angle B; the
same applies to DEF (we can call angle DEF angle E). Of course, if there's more than one angle
sharing the same vertex this would be confusing!

3. We can also name an angle by placing any number or symbol at the vertex in the INTERIOR of the
angle. So, angles can also be called angle 1 or angle 2 or angle 4, etc.

Sample:

The above angle can read three ways:


1) angle ABC
2) angle B
3) angle 1

How angles are measured?


Angles are measured by a unit called degree and the instrument used is the protractor. Strictly speaking, an
angle is a geometric figure while its measure is a number. The amount of turning of the initial side determines
the size of an angle. One complete revolution (1 rev) = 360⁰
Angles are classified according to their measures:
A zero angle is one whose measure is 0⁰. The initial side may be considered as not having moved.
An acute angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 0⁰ but less than 90⁰.
A right angle is an angle whose measure is 90⁰.
An obtuse angle is one whose measure is greater than 90⁰ but less than 180⁰.
A straight angle is an angle which measures 180⁰.
A reflex angle is an angle which is greater than 180⁰ but less than 360⁰
