Definition:
RA : RA and all points Y such that
A is between R and Y.
How to sketch:
How to name:
( the symbol RA is read as “ray RA” )

Opposite Rays
Definition:
If A is between X and Y, AX and AY are opposite rays.
( Opposite rays must have the same “endpoint” )
opposite rays
not opposite rays

Angle and Points
An Angle is a figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint, called the vertex.
ray

ray
Angles can have points in the interior, in the exterior or on the angle. A E D B C
Points A, B and C are on the angle. D is in the interior and E is in the exterior.
B is the vertex.

Naming an angle: (1) Using 3 points (2) Using 1 point (3) Using a number – next slide
Using 3 points:
vertex must be the middle letter
This angle can be named as
Using 1 point:
using only vertex letter
* Use this method is permitted when the vertex point is the vertex of one and only one angle.
Since B is the vertex of only this angle, this can also be called A C B

Naming an Angle - continued
Using a number:
A number (without a degree symbol) may be used as the label or name of the angle. This number is placed in the interior of the angle near its vertex. The angle to the left can be named as A B 2 C
* The “1 letter” name is unacceptable when …
more than one angle has the same vertex point. In this case, use the three letter name or a number if it is present.

4 Types of Angles
Acute Angle:
an angle whose measure is less than 90.
Right Angle:
an angle whose measure is exactly 90 .
Obtuse Angle:
an angle whose measure is between
90 and 180.
Straight Angle:
an angle that is exactly 180 .

Measuring Angles
Just as we can measure segments, we can also measure angles.
We use units called degrees to measure angles.
A circle measures _____
A (semi) half-circle measures _____
A quarter-circle measures _____
One degree is the angle measure of 1/360th of a circle.
360º ?
180º ? ?

Adding Angles
When you want to add angles, use the notation m1, meaning the measure of 1.
If you add m1 + m2, what is your result?
m1 + m2 = 58.
m1 + m2 = mADC also.
Therefore, mADC = 58.

Angle Addition Postulate
Postulate:
The sum of the two smaller angles will always equal the measure of the larger angle.
Complete:
m  ____ + m  ____ = m  _____
MRK
KRW
MRW
Lesson 1-4: Angles

12. Example: Angle Addition
4/23/2017
Example: Angle Addition
K is interior to MRW, m  MRK = (3x), m KRW = (x + 6) and mMRW = 90º. Find mMRK.
First, draw it!
3x + x + 6 = 90
4x + 6 = 90
– 6 = –6
4x = 84
x = 21 3x
x+6
Are we done?
mMRK = 3x = 3•21 = 63º

Angle Bisector
An angle bisector is a ray in the interior of an angle that splits the angle into two congruent angles.
Example:
Since 4   6, is an angle bisector. 5 3

Congruent Angles
Definition:
If two angles have the same measure, then they are congruent.
Congruent angles are marked with the same number of “arcs”.
The symbol for congruence is  3 5
Example:
3   5.
