4.8 Measuring Angles

  • When two rays meet at a common point called the vertex, an angle is formed.
  • An angle that measures 90 degrees is called right angle.
  • An angle that measures less than 90 degrees is an acute angle.
  • An angle that measures more than 90 degrees is an obtuse angle.
  • A straight line has an angle that measures 180 degrees.
  • An angle that measures more than 180 degrees is reflex angle.
  • If two angles add up to 1800 they are called supplementary angles.
  • If two angles add up to 900 they are called complementary angles.
  • Ruler is used to measure the lengths of segments and protractor is used to measure angles.
  • Degree is the measure of angle.
