Naming angles
An angle is a description of the size of a turn or rotation. It is drawn with two arms which meet at a
vertex
. Angles are normally marked with a curved line called an
arc
.
This shows the size of the turn. The angle marked in this diagram can be written as:

Estimating angles1 Using a drawing package and estimation skills, draw and label each of the following
angles.a ABC = 45 b DEF = 30 c GHI = 60d JKL = 90 e MNO = 120 f PQR = 155
2 Print out the six angles that you have drawn. Measure the angles with a protractor.3 What was the error each time between the angle you drew and the actual angle
requested?
Using technology Geometry
Why 360 degrees?Why are there 90 in a right angle and 360 in a revolution? Why do we use such strange numbers instead of more conventional numbers like 10 and 100?The reason is that, in 2000 BC, the ancient Babylonians used a base 60 system of numbers. They used a base 60 number system because: 60 is a rounder, more convenient number which has more factors than 10. You can
divide 60 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30. 6 60 = 360, which was the Babylonian approximation of the number of days in a year.
They defined a revolution as being 360 so that, each day, the Earth would travel 1 around the Sun. A right angle, being a quarter-revolution, thus became 360 4 = 90.
Some people who prefer a base 10 system of measurement use grads instead of degrees to measure angles. With this system, a right angle is 100 grads and a revolution is 400 grads.Find out more information about grads, including the exact relationship between degrees and grads.
Just for the record
44 NEW CENTURY MATHS 7
Drawing anglesYou can also use your protractor to draw angles.
Example 4
Use a protractor to draw angle KPM which measures 76.Solution Draw a line with endpoints P and M. Line up the base line of the protractor over PM. Place the centre mark over P. Follow the
inside scale around on the protractor, from 0 to 76. Mark this point.
Draw a line from P through this mark.Label the end of this line K.You have now drawn angle KPM, measuring 76.

When two lines cross, we say that they intersect.Two lines intersect at a point and form four angles between them.For example, in this diagram, line DE intersects with line FG at point H. One of the angles formed is FHE.

ANGLES 55 CHAPTER 2
Alternate anglesAlternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal but between the parallel lines. They are marked with red dots on the diagram. Alternate means going back and forth.Draw a pair of parallel lines and mark the alternate angles as shown. Draw in the broken line and cut along it.Rotate the two alternate angles and place them on top of each other. You should see they are the same.
The marked pairs of angles are alternate. Measure them and check that alternate angles are equal. (Remember: Equal angles are marked by the same symbol.)
Alternate angles on parallel lines are equal.

We can prove that corresponding angles are equal using the following method:
a = b They are vertically opposite angles.b = c They are alternate angles.

Co-interior anglesCo-interior angles are on the same side of the transversal but between the parallel lines. Co-interior means together inside.
Measure the following pairs of angles and see if they really are supplementary.
We can also show that co-interior angles add to 180 using the following method:
a + b = 180 They are angles on a straight line.a = c They are alternate angles.
So c + b = 180

The Leaning Tower of PisaThe Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy, began leaning shortly after its construction commenced in 1173. In 1350, it was leaning at 2.5, or 4 m, from the vertical. By 1990, its lean had grown to 5.5, or 4.5 m, and was increasing at 1.2 mm per year. Architects estimated that the tower would have toppled over by the year 2020 so it was closed for 12 years to allow $25 million worth of engineering work to take place. When it reopened in 2001, its lean had been pushed back to 5 or 4.1 m, and it is now guaranteed to stay up for at least another 300 years.1 Draw a scale diagram of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa given that its top is 55 metres above the ground.
2 Research how engineers prevented the tower from leaning further. Use the library or the Internet to conduct your research.

Angles and parallel lines
ANGLES 63 CHAPTER 2
Finding parallel linesWe can use what we know about angles and parallel lines to show that two lines are parallel.
Example 8
1 Is AB parallel to CD in the diagram on the right?
SolutionAXY is alternate to DYX.AXY = DYX = 75 AB II CD since a pair of alternate angles are equal.( means therefore)
2 Is MN parallel to PQ in the diagram on the right?
SolutionMXY is co-interior with PYX.MXY + PYX = 110 + 80 = 190
180Since co-interior angles do not add to 180, MN is not parallel to PQ.
