Classifying angles • You can classify an angle by its measure. Acute – measures less than 90° Right – measures 90° Obtuse – measures greater than 90° but less than 180° Straight – measures 180°
Using a protractor • Place the center point of the protractor on the vertex of the angle. • Place the protractor so that ray YZ passes through the 0° mark. • Using the scale that starts with 0° along ray YZ and the measure where ray YX crosses. • The measure of Angle XYZ is . X Z Y
