Math Notes: Angles

Angles are formed when two lines meet at a point called the vertex.

The measurement of an angle is typically in degrees (°), which indicates how far the two lines are

rotated about the vertex.

There are several types of angles:

1. **Acute Angle**: An angle less than 90°.

2. **Right Angle**: An angle exactly equal to 90°.

3. **Obtuse Angle**: An angle greater than 90° but less than 180°.

4. **Straight Angle**: An angle exactly equal to 180°.

5. **Reflex Angle**: An angle greater than 180° but less than 360°.

6. **Full Rotation (Angle)**: An angle exactly equal to 360°.

Basic Angle Properties:

- The sum of angles in a straight line is 180°.

- The sum of angles around a point is 360°.

- Vertically opposite angles are equal (when two lines intersect).

Common Angle Relationships:

- **Complementary Angles**: Two angles that add up to 90°.

- **Supplementary Angles**: Two angles that add up to 180°.

- **Adjacent Angles**: Angles that share a common side and vertex.

Example 1: Complementary Angles


If two angles are complementary, their sum is 90°.

For example:

Angle A = 30°

Angle B = 60°

Since 30° + 60° = 90°, angles A and B are complementary.

Example 2: Supplementary Angles

If two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180°.

For example:

Angle C = 110°

Angle D = 70°

Since 110° + 70° = 180°, angles C and D are supplementary.

Key Takeaways:

1. Angles are fundamental in geometry and come in different types: acute, right, obtuse, and reflex.

2. Understanding angle relationships, like complementary and supplementary angles, is essential in

solving geometric problems.

3. Angles are measured in degrees and are a crucial part of many areas of mathematics, such as

trigonometry and geometry.
