Angles

An angle is defined as the joining of two rays or line segments at a common endpoint called the vertex. There are five types of angles: acute angles measuring less than 90 degrees, right angles measuring exactly 90 degrees, obtuse angles measuring between 90 and 180 degrees, straight angles measuring 180 degrees, and reflex angles measuring between 180 and 360 degrees. Angles can also be complementary, summing to 90 degrees, or supplementary, summing to 180 degrees.

An angle is defined as: where two rays or two line segments join at a common endpoint called the vertex.

See part 1 for additional information. Acute Angle An acute angle measures less that 90 and can look something like these (angles between the grey rays):

Right Angle A right angle measures exactly 90 and will look something like this:

Obtuse Angle An obtuse angle measures more than 90 but less than 180 and will look something like these:

Straight Angle A straight angle is 180

Reflex Angle An reflex angle is more than 180 but less than 360 and will look something like this:

Pairs of Angles: Complementary Angles Two angles adding up to 90 are called complementary angles. ABD + DBC are Complementary

Supplementary Angles Two angles adding up to 180 are called supplementary angles. ABD + DBC are Supplementary If you know the angle of ABD, you can easily determine what the DBC is by subtracting ABD from 180!
