SECTION 1.6 ANGLES AND THEIR MEASURE LEARNING TARGETS: 1. I will be able to measure and classify angles. 2. I will be able to understand and apply the Angle Addition Postulate. VOCBAULARY Angle, Sides, Vertex, Acute Angle, Right Angle, Obtuse Angle, Straight Angle
I NTRO TO A NGLES An angle consists of two rays that have the same endpoint. The rays are the sides of the angle. The endpoint is the vertex of the angle.
P ICTURE OF A NGLE
MEASURING ANGLES
EXAMPLE Name the three angles below. What is the vertex of all three angles?
EXAMPLE Name the angles in the figure. Measure each angle.
ACTIVITY 1.6 How do you classify angles based on their angle measure? Materials: 2 Pieces of Paper, Scissors, and Protractor Page 34
STEP 1: Cut a large corner off two pieces of paper. These are called RIGHT ANGLES.
S TEP 2: Cut each right angle into two smaller angles. Angles smaller than a right angle are called ACUTE ANGLES.
S TEP 3 Arrange three angles to form an angle larger than a right angle. Angles larger than a right angle are called OBTUSE ANGLES.
