1.4 Angles 1.4 Angles and Their and Their MeasuresMeasures
Goal 1: Using Angle PostulatesGoal 1: Using Angle Postulates
• An angle consists of two different rays that have the same initial point. The rays are the sides of the angle. The initial point is the vertex of the angle.
• The angle that has sides AB and AC is denoted by BAC, CAB, A. The point A is the vertex of the angle.

Example 1: Naming AnglesExample 1: Naming Angles
• Name the angles in the figure:
SOLUTION:
There are three different angles.
PQS or SQP SQR or RQS PQR or RQP
Q
P
S
R
You should not name any of these angles as Q because all three angles have Q as their vertex. The name Q would not distinguish one angle from the others.
NoteNote
• The measure of A is denoted by mA. The measure of an angle can be approximated using a protractor, using units called degrees(°). For instance, BAC has a measure of 50°, which can be written asmBAC = 50°. B

• Angles that have the same measure are called congruent angles. For instance, BAC and DEF each have a measure of 50°, so they are congruent.

MEASURES ARE EQUAL
mBAC = mDEF
ANGLES ARE CONGRUENT
BAC DEF
“is equal to” “is congruent to”
Note that there is an m in front when you say equal to; whereas the congruency symbol ; you would say congruent to. (no m’s in front of the angle symbols).
Postulate 3: Protractor PostulatePostulate 3: Protractor Postulate
• Consider 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 1-180.
• The measure of AOB is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the real numbers for OA and OB.

• A point is in the interior of an angle if it is between points that lie on each side of the angle.
• A point is in the exterior of an angle if it is not on the angle or in its interior.

Example 2: Calculating Angle Example 2: Calculating Angle MeasuresMeasures
• VISION. Each eye of a horse wearing blinkers has an angle of vision that measures 100°. The angle of vision that is seen by both eyes measures 60°.
• Find the angle of vision seen by the left eye alone.
SolutionSolution
You can use the Angle Addition Postulate.
Goal 2: Classifying AnglesGoal 2: Classifying Angles
• Angles are classified as acute, right, obtuse, and straight, according to their measures. Angles have measures greater than 0° and less than or equal to 180°.
Example 3: Classifying Angles in Example 3: Classifying Angles in a Coordinate Planea Coordinate Plane
• Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,-4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight.
a. LMN
b. LMP
c. NMQ
d. LMQ
SolutionSolution
• Begin by plotting the points. Then use a protractor to measure each angle.

Two angles are adjacent angles if they share a common vertex and side.
Example 4: Drawing Adjacent Example 4: Drawing Adjacent AnglesAngles
• Use a protractor to draw two adjacent acute angles RSP and PST so that RST is (a) acute and (b) obtuse.

Closure QuestionClosure Question
• Describe how angles are classified.
• Angles are classified according to their measure. Those measuring less than 90° are acute. Those measuring 90° are right. Those measuring between 90° and 180° are obtuse, and those measuring exactly 180° are straight angles.
