Review 1.2

The size of an angle is the measure of turn or rotation. For example, the following shows the angle between the two hands of a clock increasing from left to right.

Angles can be represented using diagrams like the one that follows.

Example Place the angles in order of size from smallest to largest.

I. II. III.

Solution The angles from smallest to largest are III, I and II.

The size of an angle is not determined by the size of its diagram. Just because the arms of

the angle or the arc marking the angle is large does not mean the angle is large.

Remember, an angle’s size is a measure of rotation.

Focus problem 1

Helen was excited at getting her new tablet’s keyboard extension. She explained to her friend, Mai, that her tablet could rotate 240 from the keyboard extension.

Mai disagreed and said that it would only rotate 120. To prove her point, Mai drew the following diagram to represent the situation, saying that KBT was the limit of the rotation.

Helen became confused as she didn’t know what KBT represented.

Draw an arc on the diagram above to show the angle that Mai is trying to show.

Skills development 1.1

Angle notation When two or more lines, line segments or rays intersect, angles are formed about the point of intersection. This point is known as the vertex.

There are a few different ways of labelling angles. For example, the first angle above could be labelled ABC , CBA or B . Note how the angle vertex is in the middle of the string of letters.

An arc can be used to indicate the angle. For example, MQN and NQO are shown below.

Example Write the correct notation for the following angle as indicated by the arc.

Review 2

A protractor can be used to measure the amount of rotation.

To correctly measure angles using a protractor, follow these steps.

1. Place the centre point of the base of the protractor on the vertex of the angle.

2. Rotate the protractor so that its base line is on one of the arms of the angle. Make sure theprotractor is covering the angle. If it is not, then rotate the protractor until it does. Also makesure that the centre point is still on the vertex.

3. Read off the angle size on the protractor from where the angle’s second arm points to the scale.Make sure you read from the correct scale.

Example Measure the following angle.

Note that there are two scales on the protractor, an inside and an outside scale. The scale you use depends on how you

line your protractor up against your angle.

Solution Step 1 – Place the centre point of the base of the protractor on the vertex of the angle.

Step 2 – Rotate the protractor so that its base line is on top of one of the arms of the angle.

Step 3 – Read the size of the angle from the correct scale.

The size of the angle is 140.

The arm points to here.

The protractor's base line is on top of this arm so the

inside scale is used.

Note that you can place the base line of the protractor on either arm as long as it

covers the angle. You should get the same result.

Sometimes you might have to extend the angle’s arms so that you can position and

read off the protractor correctly.

Also, note how the degree sign is used.

Kicking at goals

A recent addition to the AFL football coverage has been the graphic depicting the angle and probability of kicking for goal. The angle is measured from the perpendicular, so zero degrees is a shot taken directly from in front of the goal. An angle such as 80 degrees would be almost impossible and 90 degrees would be in line with the posts. Next time the footy is on, tell your folks you are watching it for maths!

8. Summary The size of an angle is the measure of turn or rotation. When two or more lines, line segments or rays intersect, angles are formed about the point of

intersection. This point is known as the vertex.

Angles are measured in degrees and can be classified according to their size.– An acute angle is between 0 and 90.– A right angle is exactly 90.– An obtuse angle is between 90 and 180.– A straight angle is exactly 180.– A reflex angle is between 180 and 360.– A revolution is exactly 360.

Adjacent angles are next to one another. They have a common arm (line, line segment or ray)and a common vertex.

Vertically opposite angles are formed when two lines intersect.

.

Vertically opposite angles are congruent

Complementary angles add up to 90.

Supplementary angles add up to 180.

When two lines intersect at right angles (90°), the lines are perpendicular.

Parallel lines are always the same distance apart. That is, they never intersect.

Angles which are in similar positions on the parallel lines are called corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Alternate angles are found between the parallel lines and on opposite (alternate) sides of thetransversal.

Alternate angles are congruent.

Co-interior angles are between the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal.

Co-interior angles add up to 180.

Solution to Focus problem 4

What you were asked to do was to find the adjacent angle to 50 as marked with the arc.

The two angles form a straight angle when combined. That is, the angles add to 180. We can use this knowledge to find the missing angle.

50 + ? = 180 ? = 180 – 50

= 130

Therefore, the missing angle is 130. We can also find unknown angles given that they add to 90 using a similar method.

3. Solutions will vary depending on part 2 and the angles chosen. For example, using the anglegiven in the part 2 solutions, the following angles can be found.

Angle 1: 63 – it is vertically opposite.

Angle 2: 27 – it is complementary.

Angle 3: 27 – it is vertically opposite to angle 2.

4. Solutions will vary. A list of five flags for each category follow but it is not exhaustive.

(a) Flags featuring perpendicular lines include the Beninese, Danish, Georgian, Norwegian andTongan flag.

(b) Flags featuring parallel lines include the Austrian, Belgian, French, Polish and Russianflags.

5. Solutions will vary. Students should show a flag with at least one set of parallel lines and one setof perpendicular lines.
