Ch. 1.6 & 1.7 Angles
RAYS • Have an end point and go on forever in one direction F H Name: starting point 1st, then another point 2nd Ex:
Definition of an angle • two rays with a common endpoint, called the vertex ray vertex ray
Angles and Points • Angles can have points in the interior, in the exterior or on the angle.
Naming Angles • Three points on the angle • The vertex • A number
Using three points • The vertex point MUST be the middle letter <CBA or <ABC
Using Vertex • Must be the vertex of ONLY ONE angle • Ex: <B
Using a number • A number written inside the angle close to the vertex AND the number is not the measurement • Ex: <2
Angle Addition Postulate m<1 + m<2 = m<ADC • m<1 means the measure of <1 • m<1 + m<2=? m<ADC = 58.
Angle Bisector • An interior ray of an angle splits the angle into two congruent angles • Since <4 <6, then is an angle bisector.
Example • Draw your own diagram and answer this question: • If is an angle bisector of <PMY and m<PML = 87, then find: • m<PMY = _______ • m<LMY = _______
