CLASSIFICATION OF ANGLES WHAT IS AN ANGLE ‘An angle is formed when two rays start from the same point of origin, but rotate away fro each other. The magnitude or size of the angle is therefore the measurement that shows how far oni of the rays has rotated. Angles are measured in degrees and we use a protractor to measure the size of the angle. CLASSIFICATION OF ANGLES ACCORDING TO MAGNITUDE There are 6 types of angles Name of angle Size of angle Example 1) ACUTE ANGLE LESS THAN 90 2) RIGHLANGLE 90 Page 41 of 49 3) OBTUSE ANGLE BETWEEN 90 AND 179 4) STRAIGHT ANGLE 180 —D 5) REFLEX ANGLE BETWEEN 181 AND 359 (~——— 6) .

Place the centre midpoint of the protractor on the vertex or corner of the angle you are missing. Make sure the 180° line of the protractor is lying on the arm of the angle. If the angle moves in a clockwise direction, you will read he outer scale of numbers, If the angle moves in an anti-clockwise direction, you will read the inner scale of numbers Look to see where the second rotating arm extends to. Whichever number it points to will tell you the size or magnitude of the angle. USING THE PROTRACTOR TO MEASURE REFLEX ANGLES The conventional protractor measures up to 180" only. Yet, a reflex angle is bigger than 180°. There are 2 possible methods you can use. Method 4 Rotate your protractor so that the 180° line is lying on one of the arms of the angle. Look to see which number the second arm is pointing to. Subtract this number from 360°. This will give you the measurement of the angle. Example’ 30° 360° - 30° = 330° Page 44 of 49 CONCEPT : POLYGONS - DEFINITION AND TYPES WHAT ARE POLYGONS? Polygons are shapes that have 3 or more sides. Polygons may be: 1. Regular: This means that the sides and angles of the polygon are equal in size. 2, Imreqular: This means that the sides and angles of the polygon are not the same size. Page 45 of 49 CLASSIFICATION OF POLYGONS Polygons are classified according to the number of sides and angles that they have.

A triangle is a shape that has 3 sides and 3 angles. The interior angles of a triangle always adds up to 180°. CLASSIFICATION OF TRIANGLES Triangles may be classified according to sides or angles. 1. Classification according to sides; 1.1, Equilateral triangles: All 3 sides are equal Page 46 of 49 1.2, lsosceles triangle: Two of the sides are equal 1.3, Scalene triangle: None of the sides are equal Classification according to angles [Link]-angled triangle: All 3 angles are acute (i.e. less than 90%) 1.5, Obtuse-angled triangle: One of the angles is an obtuse angle (i.e. bigger than 90°) 1.6. Right-angled triangle: One of the angles is a right angle (i.e. 90°) Exercise 4 Name each of the triangles below: b. ce ae 2 NB: You need to name triangles accord|ng to their sides and angles.
