AN ANGLE
You have seen an electrical pole tied by an iron rope or other pole to keep it straight.
You have seen a divider, hands of a clock. All these give us the idea of an angle.
FORMING AN ANGLE Two rays with same initial points form an angle. The initial point is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are the arms or the sides. The angle is marked by the arc between the arms
A
arm
We use the symbol to denote an angle. We name this angle as AOB or AOB. This angle can also be named as BOA or BOA. While naming an angle, the name of the vertex of the angle is always written in the middle.
A
arm
To find the number of degrees in an angle , we make Use of an instrument called protractor.
Outer Scale
Inner Scale
MEASURING AN ANGLE A
60
Place the centre of the protractor on the O and adjust so that the base line coincides with one arm.
MEASURING AN ANGLE A
60
We look at the scale of the protractor and find which mark Of the scale lies on the other arm OA of the given angle.
MEASURING AN ANGLE A
60
Read the scale starting from 0 which lies on the arm OB. We find that mark 60 of the inner scale lies on the arm OB. of the angle. Thus the measure of the angle is 60.
MEASURING AN ANGLE A
60
We write it as AOB = 60

AOB = 130

An angle of measure 90 is called a right angle. When an angle is of measure 90, we say that the two rays , forming the angle are perpendicular to each other or at right angles.
STRAIGHT ANGLE

An angle of measure more than 90 is called an obtuse angle.
