An angleis a figure formed by two rays, or sides, with a common endpoint called the vertex(plural: vertices). You can name an angle several ways: by its vertex, by a point on each ray and the vertex, or by a number.
The set of all points between the sides of the angle is the interior of an angle. The exterior of an angleis the set of all points outside the angle. Angle Name R, SRT, TRS, or 1 You cannot name an angle just by its vertex if the point is the vertex of more than one angle. In this case, you must use all three points to name the angle, and the middle point is always the vertex.
Example 1: Naming Angles A surveyor recorded the angles formed by a transit (point A) and three distant points, B, C, and D. Name three of the angles. Possible answer: BAC CAD BAD

The measureof an angle is usually given in degrees. Since there are 360° in a circle, one degreeis of a circle. When you use a protractor to measure angles, you are applying the following postulate.
Example 2: Measuring and Classifying Angles Find the measure of each angle. Then classify each as acute, right, or obtuse. A. WXV mWXV = 30° WXV is acute. B. ZXW mZXW = |130° - 30°| = 100° ZXW = is obtuse.
Check It Out! Example 2 Use the diagram to find the measure of each angle. Then classify each as acute, right, or obtuse. a. BOA b. DOB c. EOC mBOA = 40° BOA is acute. mDOB = 125° DOB is obtuse. mEOC = 105° EOC is obtuse.
Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure. In the diagram, mABC = mDEF, so you can write ABC DEF. This is read as “angle ABC is congruent to angle DEF.” Arc marks are used to show that the two angles are congruent.
–48°–48° Example 3: Using the Angle Addition Postulate mDEG = 115°, and mDEF = 48°. Find mFEG mDEG = mDEF + mFEG Add. Post. 115= 48+ mFEG Substitute the given values. Subtract 48 from both sides. 67= mFEG Simplify.
An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. JK bisects LJM; thus LJKKJM.
KM bisects JKL, mJKM = (4x + 6)°, and mMKL = (7x – 12)°. Find mJKM. Example 4: Finding the Measure of an Angle
AEB and BED have a common vertex, E, a common side, EB, and no common interior points. Their noncommon sides, EA and ED, are opposite rays. Therefore, AEB and BED are adjacent angles and form a linear pair. Example 1A: Identifying Angle Pairs Tell whether the angles are only adjacent, adjacent and form a linear pair, or not adjacent. AEB and BED
5and 6are adjacent angles. Their noncommon sides, EA and ED, are opposite rays, so 5and 6also form a linear pair. Check It Out! Example 1a Tell whether the angles are only adjacent, adjacent and form a linear pair, or not adjacent. 5 and 6
You can find the complement of an angle that measures x° by subtracting its measure from 90°, or (90 – x)°. You can find the supplement of an angle that measures x° by subtracting its measure from 180°, or (180 – x)°.
Check It Out! Example 2 Find the measure of each of the following. a. complement of E (90– x)° 90°–(7x – 12)°=90°– 7x°+ 12° = (102 – 7x)° b. supplement of F (180– x) 180 – 116.5°=
Example 3: Using Complements and Supplements to Solve Problems An angle is 10° more than 3 times the measure of its complement. Find the measure of the complement. Step 1 Let mA = x°. Then B, its complement measures (90 – x)°. Step 2 Write and solve an equation. x = 3(90 – x) + 10 Substitute x for mA and 90 – x for mB. x = 270 – 3x + 10 Distrib. Prop. x = 280 – 3x Combine like terms. 4x = 280 Divide both sides by 4. x = 70 Simplify. The measure of the complement, B, is (90 – 70) = 20.
Example 4: Problem-Solving Application Light passing through a fiber optic cable reflects off the walls of the cable in such a way that 1 ≅ 2, 1 and 3 are complementary, and 2 and 4 are complementary. If m1 = 47°, find m2, m3, and m4.
Another angle pair relationship exists between two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays. Vertical anglesare two nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. 1and 3are vertical angles, as are 2and 4.
