Learning Targets:
• I can name angles.
• I can measure and classify angles.
• I can use the Angle Addition Postulate.
Naming Angles:
C
The region that contains all the points between the sides of the angle is the
+
i<1 e<i O ( of the angle. The region that contains all the points outside
the angle is the e
)(+en·o (" of the angle.
We can name an angle in three different ways (reference the angle above):
1. Use a point on each ray and the vertex. The vertex must be in the middle. L.. CA 6 < 5 AC..
2. Use a number written in the interior of the angle, near the vertex. <_j _
3. Use the vertex only. This method can't be used when more than one angle shares the same
vertex. <A
EX: Name the following angles in all possible ways.

Measures greater Measures 90° Measures greater than Measures 180°

than 90°
One common tool for measuring the lengths of segments is a ruler. When measuring angles, we use a
p Y ct.ro. c-to c .
EX: Find the measure of each angle. Then classify each angle.

Basically, the Angle Addition Postulate says that when a ray is drawn in the interior of an angle and has
an endpoint at the vertex, the measures of the two smaller angles add to the measure of the larger angle.
EX: Use the diagram to the right to answer the following questions:
I. Given that mLABD = 75° and mLDBC = 30°, find mLABC. c:,_~"y
