Angles

Angles are formed by the intersection of 2 lines, 2 rays, or 2 line segments.

The point at which the lines, rays, or line segments intersect is called the vertex.

Measuring Angles

The measure of an angle is the amount of rotation in degrees about the vertex from one side to the other.

The measure of any angle is between 0º and 180º.

The wider the “mouth,” the greater the measure of the angle.

Classifying Angles

There are 4 types of angles:acute angle – angle that is greater than 0° and less than 90°right angle – angle that is exactly 90°obtuse angle – angle that is greater than 90° and less than 180°straight angle – angle that is exactly 180°

acute

right

obtuse

straight

Naming Angles

Angles are named according to their vertex and the points through which each side passes.

Angles can be labeled by only the letter or number that represents their vertex.

If more than 1 angle share a vertex, then label the angle with the points on each side of the angle and the vertex. Make sure that the vertex is always the middle letter.

Triangle Angle Sum

The measure of the unknown angle is 180° – (81° + 58°) = 41°

The measure of the unknown angle is 180° – (90° + 40°) = 50°

Triangle Angle Sum Extended

This angle is also 102° due to the property of vertical angles

This angle is 180° – (102° + 52°) = 26°

The measure of the unknown angle is 180° – 26° = 154° due to the property of supplementary angles.

Properties of Isosceles Triangles

• Two sides are congruent

• Base angles are congruent

Using Properties of Isosceles Triangles to Find Angle Measures

This angle is 124° (supplementary)

This angle is 28° because it is congruent to the other base angle and together they must add up to 56°

This angle is also 28° (vertical)

This angle is 28° (base angles of isosceles)

This angle is 124° (triangle angle sum)

So, by the properties of supplementary angles, angle x is 56°.

Triangle Inequality Theorem

Any side of a triangle is always shorter than the sum of the other two sides but greater than the difference between the other two sides.

The shortest side of a triangle is always greater than the difference between the other two sides, and the longest side of a triangle is always less than the sum of the other two sides.

Example of Using The Triangle Inequality Theorem

Example 1 – State whether or not the following three numbers can be lengths of the sides of a triangle: 8, 8, 14

Solution – 1. Check to see if the longest side is less than the sum of the other two sides.14 < 8 + 8 ? Yes2. Check to see if the shortest side is greater than the difference between the other two sides.8 > 14 – 8? Yes

Therefore, these three numbers can be lengths of the sides of a triangle.
