Obtuse angle
An angle that is
bigger
or greater than a
right
angle
Straight angle
An angle formed by
two
rays pointing in exactly
opposite
directions, which is just a straight line
Complementary
angles
Two
angles that combine to form a
right
angle
Supplementary angles
Two
angles that combine to form a
straight
angle
Angle
A
measurement
of
rotation
Degree
A small amount of
rotation
used to measure
angles
Angles
can't be measured with a
ruler
or in units like
centimeters
The word
'degree'
is used for different things like
temperature
and angles</b>
Measuring an angle
1. Place
two
rays pointing in the
same
direction
2. Rotate one ray
counter-clockwise
3. The angle between the rays is measured in
degrees
Angle of
0
degrees
Rays
point in the
same
direction
Angle of
90
degrees
Rays
are
perpendicular
, forming a
right
angle
Angle of
180
degrees
Rays point in
opposite
directions, forming a
straight
angle
Angle regions
Acute
angles (
0-90
degrees)
Obtuse
angles (
90-180
degrees)
Angle of
45
degrees
Half
of a
right
angle
Angle of
270 degrees
Forms a
right
angle pointing
down
Angle of
360
degrees
Completes a full
circle
Protractor
A tool used to measure
angles
Complementary
angles
Combine to form a right angle (
90
degrees)
Supplementary angles
Combine to form a
straight
angle (
180
degrees)
Solving for unknown angle in a complementary or supplementary pair
1. Find
total
angle (
90
or 180 degrees)
2.
Subtract
known angle
3. Remaining angle is the
unknown
Angle
Formed when two lines
meet
at a
point
(the
vertex
)
Angle
Measured
in
degrees
or
rotations
Types of angles
Acute
Right
Obtuse
Reflex
Straight
Acute angle
Angle less than 90 degrees
Right angle
Angle
exactly
90
degrees
Obtuse angle
Angle greater
than
90
degrees but
less
than
180
degrees
Straight angle
Angle exactly 180
degrees
Reflex angle
Angle greater
than
180
degrees but
less
than
360
degrees
Angles
Angle A
(acute)
Angle B
(right)
Angle C
(obtuse)
Angle D
(right)
Angle E
(reflex)
Angles
are
puzzles
, so it's suggested to watch a
playlist
on finding
internal
and
external
angles
The
video
includes a
quick quiz
to test
understanding
of the
different angle
types
