Also: the letter "A" has an acute angle.
Be Careful What You Measure
The smaller angle is an Obtuse Angle, but the larger angle is a Reflex Angle |
So when naming the angles make sure that you know which angle is being asked for!
Positive and Negative Angles
When measuring from a line:
- a positive angle goes counterclockwise (opposite direction that clocks go)
- a negative angle goes clockwise
Example: −67°
Parts of an Angle
The corner point of an angle is called the vertex
And the two straight sides are called arms
The angle is the amount of turn between each arm.
How to Label Angles
There are two main ways to label angles:
1.
give the angle a name, usually a lower-case letter like a or b, or sometimes a
