The Angle Addition Postulate
An angle is formed by two rays with a common
endpoint called a vertex.
CD and CE are the rays
that form the sides of the
angle. C is the common
endpoint, or vertex.
C - vertex

There are four different ways to name an angle:
#1:
-by its vertex with  in front of the capital
letter

This is  C.

There are four different ways to name an angle:
#2:
-by a number placed inside the angle with
 in front of the number
This is  3.

There are four different ways to name an angle:
#3:
-by three letters - a point on one of the rays
followed by the vertex of the angle followed by a
point on the other ray with  in front the three
capital letters.
This is  DCE
or  ECD.

There are four different ways to name an angle:
#4:
-by a lower case letter placed inside the
angle with  in front of the lower
case letter.
This is  a.

Think about capital letters and lower case letters.
Think about what the middle letter should be.

ANGLES
Formed by two rays with a common endpoint called a vertex.
BC and BG are the rays, B is the vertex
Named by:
- the vertex (a capital letter)
B
- a number placed inside the angle 8
- three capital letters - a point on one ray
followed by the vertex followed by a point
CBG
on the other ray; vertex always in the middle GBC
- a lower case letter placed in side the angle
All of these start with .

Angles are measured in degrees using a
protractor. The protractor is used to
measure the opening between the two rays
that make up the angle.
Angles can be classified in four different ways:
Acute angles - angles that measure less than 90º
Right angles - angles that measure 90º
Obtuse angles - angles that have a measure greater than
90º but less than 180º
Straight angles - angles that measure 180º
True or False - Click true or false
next to each statement.
TRUE

FALSE
- All right angles are congruent.
TRUE

FALSE
- All obtuse angles are congruent.
TRUE
/
FALSE
- An obtuse angle and an acute
angle could be congruent.
TRUE

FALSE
- Three acute angles could be
congruent.

ANGLE CLASSIFICATION
Angles can be classified in four different ways:
Acute angles - angles that measure less than 90º
Right angles - angles that measure 90º
Obtuse angles - angles that have a measure greater than

Straight angles - angles that measure 180º
If R is in the interior of PQS, then

If R is in the interior of PQS, then
m PQR + m RQS = m PQS.
So, if R is in the interior of the
big angle, then the sum of the
measures of the two smaller
angles will equal that big angle.

If R is NOT in the interior of PQS, then
m PQR + m RQS  m PQS.

If m PQR + m RQS = m PQS,
then R is in the interior of PQS.
What does this mean? Think about the
