LESSON

S ON
ANGLES
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. describe a mathematical
system;
2. illustrate the need for an
axiomatic structure of a
mathematical system in general,
and in geometry in particular: (a)
An angle Angle
is the union of two
noncollinear rays with a
common
endpoint.
∠B or
∠ABC
Vertex is the point where
two rays meet.
The vertex is
point B. The
legs (sides) are
the two rays
and .
area covered between the
two
rays, while the exterior is
the
area that is
not in the
interior.
An instrument used
to measure the size
of an angle is called a
protractor.It is
usually a semicircle
marked with degrees,
having two sets of
numbers going in
opposite directions
Postulates
Involving
Angles
Postulate 9: The
Angle
ForMeasurement
every angle, there
Postulate
corresponds a real number
between 0 and 180.
The real number
that corresponds to
∠AOB is 90. Thus,
m∠AOB = 90°.
Postulate 10: The
Angle Construction
Postulate
Let be a ray on the edge of the
half-plane. For every real number
between 0 and 180, there is
exactly one ray, with point in the
plane.
Postulate 10: The
Angle Construction
Let be a Postulate
ray on the edge of the half-plane. For
every real number between 0 and 180, there is
exactly one ray, with point in the plane.
Let be a ray on the edge
of the half-plane P. For
every real number s
between 0 and 180, there
is exactly one ray , with
point D in plane P, such
that m∠DAC = s°.
Example:
Refer to figure to find the
measure of the following angles.
1. ∠BOY
2. ∠AOY
3. ∠KOY
4. ∠EOY
5. ∠GOY
Postulate 11:
Angle Addition
Postulate
If a point is in the interior of an angle, then
the point can form two adjacent angles.
The sum of two adjacent angle measures
will be equal to the measure of the larger
angle they form.
Remember: Adjacent angles are two
angles sharing a common side and vertex.
Postulate 11:
Angle Addition
If a point is in the interior of an angle, then the point can
Postulate
form two adjacent angles. The sum of two adjacent angle
measures will be equal to the measure of the larger angle
they form.
= 54 °
Example:
Refer to figure Given m∠MAK = 8x,
find the measure of all the three
angles.= m∠MAR +
m∠MAK
m∠RAK
8x = (x + 4) + (3x + 12)
8x = 4x + 16
4x = 16
x=4
Example:
Refer to figure Given m∠MAK = 8x,
find the measure of all the three
xangles.
=4
m∠MAK = 8x m∠MAR = (x + 4) m∠RAK = (3x + 12)
= 8(4) =4+4 = 3(4) + 12
= 32° = 8° = 12 + 12
= 24°
Postulate 12: The
Linear Pair
Postulate
If two angles form a linear pair, then
they are supplementary.
1. m∠1
2. m∠3
3. value of z if m∠5 = 2z
4. m∠JPY
Example:
If m∠LPN = 125, m∠4 = 90, and m∠1 = m∠2, find the
following. Assume that some angles form linear pairs.
1. m∠1
m∠1 + m∠2 = 180 – m∠LPN
= 180 – 125
= 55
m∠1 = m∠2
therefore m∠1 = 27.5
Example:
If m∠LPN = 125, m∠4 = 90, and m∠1 = m∠2, find the
following. Assume that some angles form linear pairs.
2. m∠3
– (m∠1 + m∠2
m∠3 = 180
+ m∠4)
= 180 – (55 + 90)
= 180 – 145
= 35
Example:
If m∠LPN = 125, m∠4 = 90, and m∠1 = m∠2, find the
following. Assume that some angles form linear pairs.
3. value of z if m∠5 = 2z
m∠5 = 180 – (m∠2 + m∠3
+ m∠4)
2z = 180 – (27.5 + 35 + 90)
2z = 180 – 152.5
2z = 27.5
z = 13.75
Example:
If m∠LPN = 125, m∠4 = 90, and m∠1 = m∠2, find the
following. Assume that some angles form linear pairs.
4. m∠JPY
m∠JPY = 180 – m∠5
= 180 – 27.5
= 152.5
