Measure given angles accurately using a protractor. Construct given angles using geometric instruments. Apply angle measurement and construction in problem-solving. Lesson Introduction An angle is formed when two rays meet at a common endpoint called the vertex. Angles are measured in degrees, denoted by the symbol [latex]^{circ}[/latex]. Accurate measurement and construction of angles are important in geometry, technical drawing, architecture, and real-life designs. Understanding Angles Angles are classified based on their size: Acute angle: less than [latex]90^{circ}[/latex]. Right angle: exactly [latex]90^{circ}[/latex]. Obtuse angle: between [latex]90^{circ}[/latex] and [latex]180^{circ}[/latex]. Straight angle: exactly [latex]180^{circ}[/latex]. Reflex angle: greater than [latex]180^{circ}[/latex] but less than [latex]360^{circ}[/latex]. [Insert diagram of types of angles] Example 1: Identify the type of angle if it measures [latex]135^{circ}[/latex]. Solution: Since [latex]90^{circ} < 135^{circ} < 180^{circ}[/latex], it is an obtuse angle. Exercises (Understanding Angles) Classify an angle of [latex]60^{circ}[/latex]. Is [latex]250^{circ}[/latex] acute, obtuse, reflex, or straight? Measuring Angles with a Protractor A protractor is used to measure angles in degrees. Place its center at the vertex and align one ray with the zero line before reading off the measurement. [Insert diagram showing how to use a protractor] Example 2: Measure an angle formed by rays that read [latex]0^{circ}[/latex] and [latex]120^{circ}[/latex] on a protractor. Solution: The angle measures [latex]120^{circ}[/latex]. Exercises (Measuring Angles) Measure an angle that extends from [latex]0^{circ}[/latex] to [latex]75^{circ}[/latex]. What angle is formed between [latex]0^{circ}[/latex] and [latex]150^{circ}[/latex]? Constructing Angles Using a compass and ruler, we can construct standard angles such as [latex]60^{circ}[/latex], [latex]90^{circ}[/latex], and [latex]120^{circ}[/latex]. These constructions rely on the properties of equilateral triangles and perpendicular bisectors. [Insert diagram showing compass construction of 60°] Example 3: Construct an angle of [latex]60^{circ}[/latex] at a given point on a line. Solution: Using a compass, draw arcs to form an equilateral triangle and thus obtain a [latex]60^{circ}[/latex] angle. Exercises (Constructing Angles) Construct an angle of [latex]90^{circ}[/latex]. Construct an angle of [latex]120^{circ}[/latex]. Types of Angle Constructions By bisecting or combining known angles, we can construct many other angles such as [latex]45^{circ}[/latex], [latex]30^{circ}[/latex], and [latex]150^{circ}[/latex]. [Insert diagram of angle bisection] Example 4: Construct an angle of [latex]45^{circ}[/latex]. Solution: First construct [latex]90^{circ}[/latex], then bisect it to get [latex]45^{circ}[/latex]. Exercises (Types of Angle Constructions) Construct an angle of [latex]30^{circ}[/latex]. Construct an angle of [latex]150^{circ}[/latex]. Applications and Mixed Problems Example 5: A triangle has two angles measuring [latex]50^{circ}[/latex] and [latex]60^{circ}[/latex]. Find the third angle. Solution: Sum of angles in a triangle = [latex]180^{circ}[/latex]. Third angle = [latex]180^{circ} - (50^{circ} + 60^{circ}) = 70^{circ}[/latex]. Exercises (Applications) Find the missing angle in a triangle with angles [latex]85^{circ}[/latex] and [latex]35^{circ}[/latex].
