Term | Definition |
---|---|
angle | a set of points consisting of two different rays that have the same endpoint |
sides of an angle | the rays of an angle |
interior of an angle | the region that contains all the points between the sides of an angle |
exterior of an angle | the region that contains all the points outside of an angle |
measure of an angle | the absolute value of the difference between the real numbers matched with the two rays that form the angle on a protractor |
acute angle | an angle that has a measure greater than 0 and less than 90 |
right angle | an angles that has a measure of 90 |
obtuse angle | an angle that has a measure greater than 90 and less than 180 |
straight angle | an angle that has a measure of 180 |
congruent angles | two angles that have the same measure |
angle bisector | a ray that divides an angle into two angles that are congruent |
protractor | a tool that helps you approximate the measure of an angle |
degrees | a unit of measurement of angles |
