AnglesGrade 7 – Mathematics
• An angle is defined as the amount of turn
between two rays that share a common
end point.
• Angles are measured in degrees

One way is to use
the ∠ symbol followed
by three letters.
The first and third
letters indicate points
on the two arms.
The letter in the middle
is the vertex.

Naming Angles
using the ∠ symbol
only with the vertex
point.
The angle would
be called ∠B.
by using the ∠ symbol
followed by the letter
or number between
the angle.
This would be ∠1.

B C
Adjust the 0° baseline of the protractor so that it lines
up with line BC
Measuring Angles
Place the center of the protractor on the vertex B
A
B C
Adjust the 0° baseline of the protractor so that it lines
up with line BC
Since the angle is acute and the 0° line or baseline was used
from the right, you will take the reading from the inner scale
30°

Let’s Review!
(90° + 45°) is what kind
of angle?
acute obtuse
right straight
Let’s Review!
It is the sum of
two right angles.

Let’s Review!
These are the rays that
make up the angle.
degrees arms
points vertex
Let’s Review!
It is the common point
where the two rays meet.
degrees arms

Let’s Review!
It is the measure of
the size of an angle

points vertex
Let’s Review!
If the points A and B are the arms,
what is the name of the angle if
point C is the vertex?
∠ ABC ∠ CBA
