Angles: Subject: Math Content: Angles and Triangles

Angles are shapes formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common point. There are several types of angles defined by their measure in degrees, including acute (less than 90°), right (90°), obtuse (greater than 90° but less than 180°), straight (180°), and reflex (greater than 180°). Triangles are polygons with three sides and three vertices. The three interior angles of any triangle always sum to 180°. Triangles are classified based on their angle measures (acute, obtuse, right) or side lengths (equilateral, isosceles, scalene).

Angles
An angle measures the amount of turn

Angle: is a shape, formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common point (the
vertex).

Names of Angles

As the Angle Increases, the Name Changes:

Type of
Description
Angle
Acute Angle is less than 90°
Right Angle is 90° exactly
is greater than 90° but
Obtuse Angle
less than 180°
Straight Angle is 180° exactly
Reflex Angle is greater than 180°
Full Rotation is 360° exactly

Positive and Negative Angles

When measuring from a line:

 a positive angle goes counterclockwise (opposite direction that clocks go)


 a negative angle goes clockwise

Example: −67°
 Parts of an Angle

The corner point of an angle is called the vertex

And the two straight sides are called arms

The angle is the amount of turn between each arm.

 How to Label Angles

There are two main ways to label angles:

1. give the angle a name, usually a lower-case letter like a or b, or sometimes a Greek
letter like α (alpha) or θ (theta)

2. or by the three letters on the shape that define the angle, with the middle letter being
where the angle actually is (its vertex).

Example angle "a" is "BAC", and angle "θ" is "BCD"

 
Triangles
In Geometry, triangles are the type of polygons, which have three sides and three vertices. This is a
two-dimensional figure with three straight sides. A triangle is considered as a 3-sided polygon. The
sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. The triangle is contained in a single plane.
Based on its sides and angle measurement, the triangle has six types.

Classification of Triangles
There are many different kinds of triangles.
The following table outlines some basic types of triangles.

Acute trianlges are
triangles in which the
measures of all three
angles are less than 90
degrees.

Obtuse triangles are
triangles in which the
measure of one angle is
greater than 90 degrees.
Right triangles are
triangles in which the
measure of one angle
equals 90 degrees.

Equilateral triangles are
triangles in which all
three sides are the same
length.

Isosceles triangles are
triangles in which two of
the sides are the same
length.

Scalene triangles are
triangles in which none
of the sides are the same
length.
