Angle: formed by two rays with common endpoint • The rays are the sides of the angle • The endpoint is the vertex of the angle
Notation • 3 Ways • Vertex (least preferred) • A number • A point on each ray and the vertex (vertex must be in the middle)
Measuring angles Angles are measured in degrees using a protractor
Types of Angles • Acute angle: measure is less than 90º but greater than zero
Obtuse angle: Measure is greater than 90º but less than 180º
