Naming angles

 An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint. The diagram below shows the angle
formed by the rays BA and BC. The common endpoint, B, is called the vertex and the rays BA and
BC are called the arms of the angle.

 The size of the angle is the amount that the ray BC must be turned through to meet the ray BA.

Example1. For the angle drawn, name the:

a) vertex b) arms c) angle

Do the following exercise:

1. Name the vertex of the following angles.

2. Name each of the angles in question 1.

3. Name the angle marked with the ‘))’ symbol in each of the following.
4. Name the angles 1, 2 and 3 in each of the following.

Measuring angles

Example1. Measure the size of the angle shown at right using a semicircular protractor.

The size of this angle is 45°.

Example2. Measure the size of the angle shown at right using a semicircular protractor.

The smaller angle is 50°. Required angle: 360° − 50° = 310°

Constructing angles

Example1. Construct each of the following angles.


a) 50° b) 140° c) 210°
Do the following exercise:

1. Without using your protractor, estimate the size of each angle and match each angle with a
measurement on the right.

2. Write down the size of the angle in each of the following.


3. Estimating the size of each angle. Then use a protractor to measure its size, giving the answer to the
answer to the nearest 10˚.

4. Use your protractor to draw angles of size:

a 40° b 80° c 120° d 160° e 90°

5. Using a ruler only, draw angles as close as you can to:


a 90° b 45° c 30° d 60° e 135°

6. Check each of your efforts above by measuring with a protractor.


Measure the sizes of the angles in question 3 to the nearest degree.

7. Use a protractor to draw angles measuring:


a 35° b 75° c 87° d 104° e 138°
Measure the size of ∠ABC in each of the following.

e) 45 minutes

f) 1 hour
Calculating the size of angles

 Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90°.

∠AOB and ∠COB are complementary angles

 Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180°.

∠AOB and ∠COB are supplementary angles

 Angles with a common vertex that form a circle add up to 360°.

y + x + z = 360°

 Vertically opposite angles are equal in size.

∠AOB = ∠DOC

∠BOC = ∠AOD

Q1. Find the complement of each of the following angles.


a) 12° b) 32° c) 88° d) 45°
