Angles Session Aims •To investigate angles and their uses •To accurately measure different classifications of angles Learning Outcomes By the end of this session you should be able to: •Accurately measure 2 types of angles •Name the different classifications of angles •Give at least one example for using angles •EXTENSION ACTIVITY – Estimate angles within 360º Angles Where two lines meet (or intersect) at a point, then an angle is formed. The point of intersection of the lines is called the vertex. B Lines AB and AC meet at the point A to form an angle. The point A is the vertex of the angle, and the lines that meet to make the angle are called the arms of the angle. A C Angles Angles are used in daily life. • Engineers and architects use angles for designs, roads, buildings and sporting facilities. • Gardeners use angles to create pathways, flowerbeds and lawns • Joiners use angles to make chairs, tables and doorframes. • Artists use their knowledge of angles to sketch portraits and paintings. • Hairdressers use angles to cut hair Angles Size of an Angle The amount of turn from one arm of the angle to the other is said to be the size of an angle. B A C The size of an angle is measured in degrees; and the symbol used to represent degree is º. There are 360º in a full turn (or circle). Angles Measuring Angles A protractor is used to measure angles. A protractor has the shape of a semi-circle and two scales marked from 0º to 180º. The two scales make it easy for us to measure angles facing different ways.
