ANGLES

MEASUREMENT
 Degrees: Measuring Angles

We measure the size of an angle using degrees.

Example: Here are some examples of angles and
their degree measurements.

How to measure the angle?
Name Of The Angles
Acute Angles

An acute angle is an angle measuring between

0 and 90 degrees.
Example:
Obtuse Angles

An obtuse angle is an angle measuring between 90

and 180 degrees.
Example:
Right Angles

A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees.

Examples:
Clock face and degree.
 Review

State whether the following are acute, right, or obtuse.

1. 3. 5.
acute obtuse
right

2. 4.
acute obtuse
Complementary
Angles
Complementary Angles

Two angles are called complementary angles if the

sum of their degree measurements equals 90 degrees.
Example:
These two angles are complementary.
These two angles can be "pasted"
together to form a right angle!
Supplementary Angles

Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum

of their degree measurements equals 180 degrees.

Example:
These two angles are supplementary.
These two angles can be "pasted"
together to form a straight line!

Answer : 40
Vertical Angles
Vertical Angles

For any two lines that meet, such as

in the diagram below,
angle AEB and angle DEC are
called vertical angles.
Angle BEC and angle AED are also
vertical angles.
Vertical angles have the same
degree measurement.
