LESSON 2 ‘What You Will Learn to Do Name and identify angles Measure and construct angles using a protractor Classify angles as acute, right, or obtuse Name and identify congruent angles Define and illustrate an angle bisector Understand and apply angle measure postulates Figure 1.27 Some objects around you show applications of angles in real life. Do you know that the first clocks were sundials? Here is how a sundial works. The sun hits the gnomon, the flat piece of metal at the center of the sundial, casting a shadow. The angle formed by the gnomon and its shadow determines the time of day. Nowadays, clocks are designed with at least two hands. The hands of.a clock clearly exemplify angles. ‘Angles can be found everywhere. Buildings, establishments, satellite disks, billboards, and many other objects are built with tilted lines forming angles, Even the Japanese art of flower arrangement, ikebana, involves placing each flower and branch at certain angle for them to be seen clearly and to create a mood. Dermmion 1.15. An angle is formed by two noncollinear rays with a common endpoint. The two rays are called the sides of the angle. The common endpoint is called the vertex. Scanned with CamScanner The symbol for an angle is Z. An angle can be named using a number, its vertex, or its vertex and two other points, one on each of its sides. Refer to figure 1.28. The vertex of the angle is B and its sides are BA and BC. Naming Angles B c Figure 1.28 The angle above can be named. angle 1 (21), angle B (28), angle ABC (ZABC), or angle CBA (2CBA). Other examples of angles are shown below. nN M oy A x @ (0) @ Figure 1.29 The angles are (a) ZMAP or ZPAM, (b) 2X, and (c) 21. Look at figure 1.30. Would it be right to refer to any of the angles as 2A? Why or why not? A B Figure 1.30 Since there are three angles with vertex A, each angle should be named using vertex A and two points, one on each of its sides. You may name an angle using its vertex only if the angle is a single one. In figure 1.30, it is not clear which angle is ZA since there are three different angles that have A as their vertex. Hence, it is advisable to name each angle using its vertex and two points, one on each of its sides. Can you name the three angles in the figure? Sr Scanned with CamScanner An angle divides a plane into three distinct, parts—the interior of the angle, the exterior of the angle, and the angle itself. Figure 1.31 Point & is located in the interior of ZGHI, point F is located in the exterior of ZGHI, and point Gis a point on the angle itself. The measure of an angle indicates how wide the opening between its two sides, A protractor is used to find the measure of an angle just like a ruler is used to find the length of a segment. To find the measure of an angle using a protractor, place the center point of the protractor over the vertex of the angle. ‘Then align the mark labeled 0 with one side of the angle and read the scale where the other side of the angle falls. The unit of measurement used for angles is called degree, denoted by the symbol °. E 6 Figure 1.32 The protractor shows that ZGEO moasures 50°. A protractor usually has outer and inner degree scales. Using the inner scale of the protractor shown in figure 1.32, the measure of ZGEO is equal to 60 degrees, written as ZGEO = 50° or mZGEO = 60, To indicate the measure of ZGEO, the symbol mZGEO, read as “the measure of angle GEO,” is used and the symbol for dogree (°) is omitted due to the small letter m. SSS. |, Scanned with CamScanner cording to their measures. gas Classifying Angles ‘Angles can be classified acc ‘A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90°. ‘An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90°. An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90° but less than 180°. 90° € a x 120° AUL—_—_——> ¢. = D (@ . (» C) Figure 1.33 Some angles can be classified as (a) a right angle, (b) an acute angle, or (c) an obtuse angle. Derinition 1.16. Angle A is a right angle since mZA = 90, Angle C is an acute angle since mZC < 90, while angle D is an obtuse angle since 90
