How does it work? Angles
Parts of an angle
Angles are formed when two straight rays extend from a common point.
The amount of rotation ‘swept’ from one arm to the next in degrees is how they are measured
Arm AB
Angle swept by arms AB and BC in degrees (c)
B C
Arm BC
Vertex Rays that form an angle are called arms
Naming angles
These two methods of naming use the symbol +in front to mean 'angle'.
Name these two angles:
(i) (ii) R
A
C B P Q
Method 1 +ABC or +CBA +PQR or +RQP
The letter at the vertex is always written in the middle
Method 2 +B +Q
For angles like these, you can just use the letter at the vertex
If there is more than one angle at the same point, you must use method 1 to reference the angle properly.
