An angle is formed wherever two lines, segments or rays intersect. There are two postulates that allow us to measure and solve problems with angles.
The angle addition postulate only works for adjacent angles, defined as angles that share a common leg and vertex, but do not overlap.
The measure of an angle is defined using the protractor postulate.
Angles can be classified based on their measure:
To construct a copy of an angle, we will:
To construct the bisector of an angle, we will:
Determine the measure of the angle being measured by the protractor.
Solve for x.
Consider the diagram, where m \angle PQR = 145 \degree.
Write an equation and solve for x.
Find m\angle{SQR}.
