2. Objectives: What’s in it for you?
What is Angle Measurement?
Define what a measure of an angle is
Use a protractor properly
Construct angles given specific angle measurements
Recognize and interpret geometric markings
Define congruent segments and congruent angles
Label congruent figures/segments/angles accordingly
State a rule on angles in relation to playing pool

3. What is ANGLE MEASURE?

4. Activity!
Draw an angle of any size using your straightedge and label it Angle JON. J O N

5. Activity!
Bring out your protractors and measure the angle. How?

6. Activity!
Step 1. Align the center of the protractor with the vertex of the angle. J O N

7. Activity!
Step 2. Make sure that one side of the angle coincides with the zero line of the protractor still making sure that the vertex of the angle is at the center. J O N

8. Activity!
Step 3: Read the measure of the angle where the other side of the angle crosses the protractor scale. J O N
Note: Use the scale that coincides with the O’ of the other ray.

9. What is ANGLE MEASURE?
Independent of the length of the sides of the angle
Defined as, “the smallest amount of rotation necessary from the overlapping position of the two rays to the final angle.”
degrees as unit of measurement

12. CONGRUENCE
Two figures that have the exact size and shape are said to be CONGRUENT.
Two segments are said to be congruent if and only if they have the same measure.
Two angles are said to be congruent if and only if they have the same measure.
