1 1-3: Measuring and constructing angles

2 terms An angle is a figure formed by two rays, or sides, with a common endpoint called the vertex. You can name an angle several ways: by its vertex (<capital letter), by a point on each ray and the vertex (< 3 capital letters), or by a number(<#).

3 Terms continued The set of all points between the sides of the angle is the interior of an angle. The exterior of an angle is the set of all points outside the angle. exterior interior The measure of an angle is usually given in degrees.

4 Protractor postulate Given line AB and a point O on line AB, all rays that can be drawn from O can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers from 0 to 180.

5 Types of angles Acute Angle Right Angle Obtuse Angle Straight Angle
Measures greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. Measures 90 degrees. Measures greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Formed by 2 opposite rays and measures 180 degrees.

6 terms Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure. Arc marks are used to show that the 2 angles are congruent. An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent angles.

7 Angle addition postulate
If S is in the interior of <PQR, then m<PQS + m<SQR = m<PQR
