1.4 Measure and Classify Angles
Definitions
Angle – consists of two different rays with the same endpoint.
B
C
vertex
The rays are the sides of the angle.The endpoint is the vertex of the angle.
A
sides
This angle can be named BAC or CAB or A.
Classifying Angles
Acute Angle: less than 90º
Right Angle: equals 90º
Obtuse Angle: more than 90º
Straight Angle: equals 180º

Angle Addition Postulate
If P is in the interior of RST, then

m RST = m RSP + m PST
Congruent Angles
Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.
A B
24º 24º
so A = B~m A = m B
