An angle is formed when two rays share a common endpoint called the vertex. Angles are measured in degrees using a protractor. To measure an angle, the protractor is placed with the vertex at the midpoint and one ray aligned with 0 degrees. The degree measurement of the other ray is the angle measure. Angles can be acute (<90 degrees), right (90 degrees), or obtuse (>90 degrees but <180 degrees). Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees, while supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees.
