Kinds of Angles

1. ANGLES

2. ANGLE
• It is geometrical shape formed by joining two rays at their end-points. The two
components of an angle are “sides” and “vertex”. The side can be categorized
into terminal sides and initial sides (or vertical sides). An angle is usually
measured in degrees.

9. Parts of Angle
VERTEX – the common point where the
two rays meet.
ARMS – the rays that make up the angle.
DEGREES – the measure of the size of an
angle.

10. Naming Angles
One way is to use the ∠ symbol followed by three letters.
• The first and third letters indicate points on the two arms.
• The letter in the middle is the vertex.

∠ ABC ∠ CBA

11. Naming Angles
• Using the ∠ symbol only with the vertex point.
The angle would be called ∠B.
• By using the ∠ symbol followed by the letter or number between the angle.
This would be ∠1. A

13. Six Types of Angles
In Math, there are mainly 5 types of angles based on their direction. These
five angle types are the most common ones used in geometry. These are:
• Acute Angles
• Obtuse Angles
• Right Angles
• Straight Angles
• Reflex Angles
• Full Rotation

14. ACUTE ANGLE
An acute angle lies between 0 degree and 90 degrees, or in other words; an acute
angle is one that is less than 90 degrees.

15. OBTUSE ANGLE
An obtuse angle is the opposite of an acute angle. It is the angle which lies
between 90 degrees and 180 degrees or in other words; an obtuse angle is greater
than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

16. RIGHT ANGLE
A right angle is always equal to 90 degrees. Any angle less than 90 degrees is an
acute angle whereas any angle greater than 90 degrees is an obtuse angle.

17. STRAIGHT ANGLE
A straight angle is 180 degrees when measured.

18. REFLEX ANGLE
Any angle that has a measure which is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360
degrees (which coincides with 0 degrees) is a reflex angle.

19. Full Rotation
An angle equal to 360 degrees is called full rotation or full angle. It is formed
when one of the arms takes a complete rotation to form an angle.

20. PROTRACTOR
A tool that is used to measure angles.

22. Pair of Angles
When two angles are paired, then there exist different angles, such as
•Complementary angles
•Supplementary angles
•Linear Pair
•Adjacent angles
•Vertically Opposite angles

23. Complementary and Supplementary
Angles
If the sum of two angles is equal to 180°, then they are SUPPLEMENTARY
ANGLES.
If the sum is equal to 90°, then they are called COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES.

24. Linear Pair
When the non-common arms of adjacent angles are just opposite to each other,
or they extend in the opposite direction, then they are called linear pairs. By
linear they form a straight line.

25. Adjacent Angles
When two angles are connected with one common arm and have one common
vertex and also the non-common arms are either side of the common arm, then
they are called adjacent angles.

26. Vertical Angles
When two lines intersect each other at a single point (called vertex), then the
angle formed on either side of the common vertex is called vertical angles or
vertically opposite angles.
