Using a protractor to measure angles

Angles

The amount of turn between each arm is measured in degrees with the aid of a protractor. Measure the size of +XYZ Step 1: Set up protractor to measure
Remember: the vertex is the pointy bit

Y
Place the centre marker on the protractor at the vertex

Z
Line up one of the arms with a 0c mark

Step 2: Read the angle

Measure with the outside scale as it starts with 0c

Y ` +XYZ = 120c

The two scales on a protractor enable us to measure angles from either direction. Measure the size of +ABC Step 1: Set up protractor to measure A

C
Line up one of the arms with a 0c mark

Using a protractor to measure reflex angles

Angles

Most protractors only measure angles up to 180c , so measure the angle you can and go from there. Measure the size of reflex +PQR Step 1: Measure the obtuse +PQR P
Obtuse +PQR = 140c

Q Step 2: Subtract the size of the obtuse angle from 360c P

Obtuse +PQR + reflex +PQR = 360c (a full revolution)

140c Q ` Reflex +PQR = 360c - 140c = 220c Here is another example with an acute angle. Measure the size of reflex +DEF Step 1: Measure the acute +DEF

Adjacent Angles

Angles

Angles that do not overlap and share an arm from the same vertex point are called adjacent angles. Name the adjacent acute angles in this diagram B A
Arm BD is shared by +ADB and +BDC

C
Same vertex point for +ADB and +BDC

+ADB is adjacent to +BDC

Adjacent simply means 'next to'

Here is the official way to say it: The arm BD is common to both angles. The vertex D is common to both angles. Here is an example where angles with a common arm and vertex overlap. Name all the obtuse angles adjacent to +UZY V W

Arm UZ is also common to these obtuse angles +UZW and +UZX The vertex Z is common to all angles

Parallel lines

Angles

Parallel lines never cross each other, so on their own they never form an angle.
Used to show that the lines are parallel to each other

Parallel lines are named like this: AB ;; CD

This symbol means 'is parallel to'

We get angles formed when another line that is not parallel crosses them.

A line that crosses parallel lines is called a transversal

The opposite of parallel is perpendicular. The symbol for this is = . It means the lines cross at 90c to each other

Zangles
Angles that are on alternate sides of the transversal inside a pair of parallel lines are the same size. A G H B A G H B

Here is another problem. Five people were holding lengths of rope all tied together at the centre. They need to move around until the angle between each rope is the same. Explain how each person should move if Kim and Rohan must both stay still. Kim Wei 100c 92c 87c 37c Sung-Li Erin Sung-Li moves 92c - 72c = 20c clockwise ` Angle between Kim and Sung-Li = 72c Sung-Li's movements leave Erin 20c + 37c = 57c away from her. ` Erin moves 72c - 57c = 15c counter-clockwise ` Angle between Sung-Li and Erin 87c - 15c = 72c Erin's movements take her 15c closer to Rohan ` Angle between Erin and Rohan = 87c - 15c = 72c ` Angle between Wei and Rohan = 72c
Only angle left over Always answer problems with a statement

Calculate the size each angle needs to be. ` 360c ' 5 = 72c Kim and Rohan cannot move. Rohan Wei moves 100c - 72c = 28c counter-clockwise ` Angle between Kim and Wei = 72c
Angles at a point add to 360c

Start position

She immediately recovers and starts her second move facing where she had stopped. If she successfully turns another 180c in the same direction, how many degrees away from the start position is Janet now?

A toy robot is programmed to move to all of the discs shown below. It starts on disc A facing in the direction of the arrow. When it reaches each disc, the robot remains facing the direction it was during the previous move. Name the order of the discs it moves to if it follows these instructions in order: Turn a right-angle clockwise and travel forward to the next disc. Complete a full revolution and then travel forward to the next disc. Turn counter-clockwise 200c and travel forward to the next disc. Turn clockwise 270c and travel forward to the next disc. Turn clockwise 80c then travel in reverse (backwards) to the next disc. Turn counter-clockwise an acute angle and travel forward to the last disc.

As part of a treasure hunt, participants must complete puzzles to receive the name of the next destination. At one stop, the puzzle is this: D

27c B

Step 1: If +ABC is a straight angle, calculate the complement of +DBC and add it to one of the angles formed when +ABD is divided into nine equal sized parts. Step 2: Calculate the size of reflex +ABD , subtract the value of step 1 from it and then add the supplement of +DBC to the answer. What answer will win you the name of the next destination?
