angle
the set of points that contain two different rays that have the same endpoint
vertex
the common endpoint of two rays or line segments
sides of an angle
the rays that create an angle
interior of an angle
the region that contains all of the points between sides of an angle
exterior of an angle
the region that contains all of the points outside of an angle
measure of an angle
the absolute value of the difference of the real numbers matched by the sides of the angle on a protractor
acute angle
an angle that measures greater that 0 degrees, but less than 90 degrees
right angle
an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees
obtuse angle
an angle that measures greater than 90 degrees, but less than 180 degrees
straight angle
an angle that measures exactly 180 degrees
congruent angles
angles that have the same measure
angle bisector
a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
