PRE-CAL (NO SOLVE, GENERAL QUESTIONS) Flashcards
The word ____ comes from a Latin word named ‘angulus,’ meaning “corner.”
Angle
Point where the arms meet.
Vertex
Two straight line segments form a vertex.
Arms
If a ray is rotated about its endpoint, the measure of its rotation is called angle
between its initial and final position.
Angle
An ______ is the opposite of an acute angle. It is the angle which lies between 90
degrees and 180 degrees.
Obtuse Angle
An ______ is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees
Obtuse Angle
An _______ lies between 0 degree and 90 degrees
Acute Angle
An _______ is one that is less than 90 degrees.
Acute Angle
A ________ is always equal to 90 degrees.
Right Angle
A ______ is 180 degrees when measured
straight angle
The figure illustrates a straight angle or a 180-degree angle. You can see that it is just
a straight line because the angle between its arms is 180 degrees.
Straight Angle
Any angle that has a measure which is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360
degrees.
Reflex Angle
_____ are those angles which are measured in a counterclockwise direction
from the base. In most cases, _____ are used to represent angles in geometry.
From the origin, if an angle is drawn in the (+x, +y) plane, it forms a _______
Positive Angle
______ are those angles which are measured in a clockwise direction from the
base. From the origin, if an angle is drawn towards the (x, -y) plane, it forms a _______
Negative angles
▪ An amount of opening of an angle.
▪ Amount of the rotation from the initial side of an angle to its terminal side.
