Chapter 1

Essentials of Geometry

Lesson 1.4
Measure and Classify Angles
What will you learn?

To name, measure, and classify


angles
Why?
So you can identify congruent angles
CA Standard 1
Students demonstrate understanding by
identifying and giving examples of
axioms
Example
Name three angles in the diagram

Y
X

Why should we not name any of the


angles <X?
Measuring an angle

Use a protractor
Measured in degrees (o)
Angle
Consists of two different rays with the same
endpoint.
Rays AB and
AC are the sides of the <BAC.
The endpoint A is the vertex of the angle.
B

vertex
sides A

C
Protractor Postulate
Consider OB and a point A on one side of OB. The
rays of the form OA can be matched one to one
with the real numbers from 0 to 180.
The measure of <AOB is equal to the absolute
value of the difference between the real numbers
for OA and OB.

O B
Classifying Angles

Acute angle between 0o and 90o

Right angle 90o

Obtuse angle between 90o and 180o

Straight angle 180o


Angle Addition Postulate

If B is in the interior of <XYZ, then


m<XYZ = m<XYB + m<BYZ

m<XYB

m<BYZ
(2x+10)o

Example
M
L

(4x-3)o

K N

Given that m<LKN = 145o,


find the m<LKM and m<MKN
Using the angle addition postulate
m<LKN=m<LKM+m<MKN
145o = 2x+10 + 4x-3
145 = 6x + 7
138 = 6x
23 = x
Substitute x in the expressions
m<LKM = 2x+10 = 2(23)+10 = 56o
m<MKN = 4x-3 = 4(23)-3 = 89o
Congruent Angles

Two angles that have the same


measure
~
<A = <B or m<A = m<B

A B
Angle Bisector
A ray or segment that divides an
angle into two equal angles.
BD is the angle bisector of <ABC
A

B C
You now know,
What is an angle?
Formed by two rays that have the same endpoint
How are angles classified?
Acute – measure between 0o and 90o
Right – measure of 90o
Obtuse – measure between 90o and 180o
Straight – measure of 180o
What is an angle bisector?
A ray or segment that divides an angle into two
congruent angles
