7-2 Angles

An angle is formed by two rayswith a common endpoint. The two rays are the sides of the angle. The common endpointis the vertex.

You can name an angle in three ways:

• with the capital letter at the vertex: B,

• with the number inside the angle: 1,

• with three capital letters so that the letterat the vertex is in the middle: ABC or CBA

Angles are measured in degrees (°). You can

use a protractor to measure an angle.

The measure of XYZ is 122°, or m XYZ = 122°.

Give the measurement of each angle.

7-2 Angles

An angle’s measure determines the type of angle it is.

A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90°. The

symbol indicates a right angle

An acute angle is an anglethat measures less than 90°

An obtuse angle is an anglethat measures more than 90°but less than 180°

A straight angle is an anglethat measures 180°

Tell whether each angle is acute, right, obtuse or straight.

7-2 Angles

If the sum of the measures of two angles is90°, then the angles are complementary

angles. If the sum of the measures of twoangles is 180°, then the angles are

supplementary angles.

Use the figure to name the following.
