5. 7.2 Measurement – Section 2 5 An angle is a set of points consisting of two rays, or half-lines, with a common endpoint. The endpoint is called the vertex. Objective B: An Introduction to Angles Ray BC Ray BA C B A Vertex The rays are called the sides. The angle to the left can be named angle ABC, angle CBA, or angle B. Notice that the name of the vertex is either in the middle or, if no confusion results, listed by itself. Next Slide The symbol of angle is . We could also say:  ABC, or  CBA, or  B.

6. 7.2 Measurement – Section 2 6 A device called a protractor is used to measure angles. Protractors have two scales. To measure an angle like the angle shown below, we place the protractors (dot) at the vertex and line up one side of the angle’s sides at 0 degrees. Then we check where the angle’s other side crosses the scale. Next Slide

Your Turn Problem #5 Find the measure of the complement of a 30  angle. Answer: 60  90  – 42  = 48  The measure of a complement is 48 .

10. 7.2 Measurement – Section 2 10 Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 . Each angle is called a supplement of the other. 150  30  1 2 Supplementary angles Example 6. Find the measure of a supplement of an angle of 122 . Solution: 180  – 122  = 58  The measure of a supplement is 58 . 122  180   122  To find the supplement of an angle, subtract it from 180  Your Turn Problem #6 Find the measure of the supplement of a 37  angle. Answer: 143 

11. 7.2 Measurement – Section 2 11 A triangle is a polygon made up of three segments, or sides. We can classify triangles according to sides and according to angles. Next Slide Equilateral triangle: All sides are the same length. Isosceles triangle: Two or more sides are the same length. Scalene triangle: All sides are of different lengths. Right triangle: One angle is a right angle. Obtuse triangle: One angle is an obtuse angle. Acute triangle: All three angles are acute. Objective C: An Introduction to Triangles
