"'I SECTION 1.5 PART I -'MEASURING ANV CONSTRUCTING ANGLES

Learning Targets:
• I can name angles.
• I can measure and classify angles.
• I can use the Angle Addition Postulate.

Naming Angles:
C

An (l O<i) Ie., is a set of points consisting of two different rays that


have the same endpoint, called the ve;r-
±, e.X: . The rays are the vertex

SideS of the angle. ' A


I
B

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.

Measuring and Classifying Angles:
In geometry, we measure angles in degrees .
This is not a length, but tells us how far "open"
an angle is. When we write the measure of an angle, we write the name of the angle preceded by a
lowercase m.

EX: One name for this angle is _<


_e_G_P_____
0

Q The measure of this angle is written as m< \< Q P : :. I 00

Angles can be classified according to their measures.

Measures greater Measures 90° Measures greater than Measures 180°
than 0° and less 90° and less than 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 .

To measure an angle with a protractor, find the difference between


the two numbers where the rays intersect the protractor.

Most protractors have an inner scale and an outer scale. When


measuring, make sure you are consistent in which scale you use.

EX: Find the measure of each angle. Then classify each angle.

Using the Angle Addition Postulate:
s _ _ _ _..,_..
Angle Addition Postulate
If Pis in the interior of LRST, then mLRST = mLRSP + mLPST.

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:
