8-2 Classifying Angles 8-2 Classifying Angles
Tell whether each angle is acute, right, obtuse, or straight. Two rays with a common endpoint form an angle. The common
endpoint is called the vertex. You can name an angle three ways:
1. 2. 3.
• with the letter at the vertex: Y. X
• with a number written inside the
angle: 1. 1
Y
right obtuse acute • with three letters: XYZ or ZYX.
The letter of the vertex must be in Z
Use the diagram to tell whether the angles are complementary, the middle.
