CLASSIFICATION OF ANGLES. Angles Angles are classified according to their measures. Acute Angles an angle measuring between 0 and 90 degrees. Obtuse Angles an angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees. Right Angles an angle measuring exactly 90 degrees.
E N D
Use the diagram to find the measure of the indicated angle. Then classify the angle. a.KHJ b. GHK c. LHK d. GHL EXAMPLE 1 Measure and classify angles SOLUTION A protractor has an inner and an outer scale. When you measure an angle, check to see which scale to use.
o a.HJ is lined up with the 0 on the inner scale of the protractor. HKpasses through 55 on the inner scale. So, mKHJ = 55 . It is an acute angle. o o b.HG is lined up with the 0 on the outer scale and HKpasses through 125 on the outer scale. So,mGHK = 125 . It is an obtuse angle. o c.m LHK = 35. It is an acute angle. d.m GHL= 90. It is a right angle. EXAMPLE 2 Measure and classify angles
