Angle Notes

An angle is formed by two rays that share a common endpoint called the vertex. Angles are measured in degrees from 0 to 360 degrees and can be acute, right, obtuse or straight. A protractor can be used to measure angles. Vertical angles are equal in measure and intersecting lines that form right angles are perpendicular. Angles can also be complementary if their measures sum to 90 degrees or supplementary if their measures sum to 180 degrees.

ANGLES

Slide 9-1-1
ANGLES

An angle is the union of two rays that have a


common endpoint. An angle can be named with
the letter marking its vertex, B , and also with
three letters: ABC- the first letter names a point
on the side; the second names the vertex; the third
names a point on the other side.

Vertex B

ANGLES

Angles are measured by the amount of rotation.


360° is the amount of rotation of a ray back onto
itself.

90°
45° 10°

150°
360°

Slide 9-1-3
ANGLES

Angles are classified and named with reference to


their degree measure.

Measure Name
Between 0° and 90° Acute Angle
90° Right Angle
Greater than 90° but Obtuse Angle
less than 180°
180° Straight Angle

Slide 9-1-4
PROTRACTOR

A tool called a protractor can be used to measure


angles.

Slide 9-1-5
INTERSECTING LINES

When two lines intersect to form right angles


they are called perpendicular.

Slide 9-1-6
VERTICAL ANGLES

In the figure below the pair ABC and DBE


are called vertical angles. DBA and EBC
are also vertical angles.
D A

B
E C

Vertical angles have equal measures.

Slide 9-1-7
EXAMPLE: FINDING ANGLE MEASURE

Find the measure of each marked angle below.

(3x + 10)° (5x – 10)°

Solution
3x + 10 = 5x – 10 Vertical angles are equal.
2x = 20
x = 10
So each angle is 3(10) + 10 = 40°.
Slide 9-1-8
COMPLEMENTARY AND
SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES
If the sum of the measures of two acute angles is 90°,
the angles are said to be complementary, and each is
called the complement of the other. For example, 50°
and 40° are complementary angles
If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180°, the
angles are said to be supplementary, and each is
called the supplement of the other. For example, 50°
and 130° are supplementary angles

Slide 9-1-9
EXAMPLE: FINDING ANGLE MEASURE

Find the measure of each marked angle below.


(2x + 45)° (x – 15)°

Solution
2x + 45 + x – 15 = 180 Supplementary angles.
3x + 30 = 180
3x = 150
x = 50
Evaluating each expression we find that the angles
are 35° and 145°.
