1. Classifying Angles
OBJECTIVES:
I CAN NAME ANGLES IN FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS.
I CAN CLASSIFY ANGLES AS ACUTE, RIGHT, OBTUSE, OR
STRAIGHT.
I CAN IDENTIFY VERTICAL AND ADJACENT ANGLES.
I CAN FIND MISSING MEASURES OF ANGLES
2. Angles
A shape formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint;
contains two rays and a vertex
ray
ray
vertex
vertex—point common to two rays of a
triangle or two sides of a polygon
ray—has one endpoint and goes infinitely
in one direction
4. How are angles used in real life?
Transportation
Architecture &
Engineering
5. Naming Angles
There are 4 ways to name an angle:
Using the vertex
Example: < O
Using the number
Example: < 1
Using the points with
the vertex in the middle
Example: < MOP or < POM
6. Name that angle…
Using the vertex
Using the number
Using the points with
the vertex in the middle
7. There are 4 basic types of angles:
Acute
Right
Obtuse
Straight
8. acute Angle
An acute angle measures less than 90° and looks like this:
It measures more than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees.
0 < acute angle < 90
11. Right Angles
A right angle measures exactly 90° and looks like this:
We draw the square around the right angle so we quickly identify it as a 90° angle. These
angles are the most common in everyday life: the corner of a door, window, table,
piece of paper.
15. obtuse Angle
An obtuse angle measures more than 90° and looks like this:
It measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
90 < obtuse angle < 180
27. Finding the value of a missing measure using what
we know about vertical angles…
Find the value of x in the figure below.
