Topic: ANGLES

OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson, the student should be able to:

1. Define an angle

2. Identify at least six types of angles.

3. Construct angles 90⁰, 45⁰, 60⁰, 30⁰, 15⁰, 75⁰ and 120⁰.

Definition

An angle can be defined as a point where two straight lines meet.

An angle is the intersection of two lines at a point.

E.g

Types of Angles
i. Right angle: This is an angle that is equal to 90⁰ or perpendicular to the horizontal. E.g.

Right Angle
ii. Acute angle: This is an angle that is less than 90⁰. E.g.
Acute

iii. Obtuse angle: This is an angle that is greater than 90⁰ but lesser than 180⁰. E.g.
iv. Angle on a straight line: This is an angle on a straight line and it is equal to 180⁰.
E.g.

Angle on a Straight Line


v. Reflex angle: This is an angle that is greater than 180˚ but lesser than 360⁰. E.g.

vi. Angle at a point: This angle is equal to 3600 .It usually forms a complete circle.
E.g.

Angle at a Point
vii. Complementary angle: These are pairs of angles summed up to give 90⁰. E.g.

Supplementary angles: This is another pair of angles which adds up to give 180⁰.
e.g.

Construction of Angles
A. Construction of angle 90⁰.
(i). Draw a horizontal line AB.
(ii). Mark a point O, along AB.
(iii). With O as centre and any convenient radius, construct a semi-circle on AB at CD.
(iv).With C and D as centres and any convenient radius, cut arcs in turns above AB to
intersect at E.
(v). Join E to O to acquire the required angle.
E.g.

B. Constructing Angle 45⁰.


(i). Using the procedures listed above, construct angle 900 first.
(ii). With E and F as centres and any convenient radius, cut arcs to intersect at G.
(Iii). Join G to O to get the required angle.
E.g.
C. Constructing Angle 60⁰
(i). Draw a horizontal line of any convenient length and mark a point O. (ii).With O as
centre and any convenient radius, construct an arc to cut the horizontal line at A.
(iii).With A as centre and the same radius as above cut the previous arc at B. (iv). Join B to
O to get the required angle.
E.g.

D. Constructing Angle 30⁰.


(i). Repeat the steps in (4) above to construct angle 60⁰ again.
(ii). Bisect angle 60⁰ using A and B as centres, to get the required angle.
E.g.
E. Constructing Angle 15⁰.
(i). Repeat the procedures stated in (4) and (5) above.
(ii). Bisect angle 300 using B and C as centres to get the required angle.
E.g.

F. Constructing Angle750.
(i). Using the steps stated earlier, construct angle 900 and 600 first.
(ii). Bisect angles 900 and 600 by using the 2 angles as centres in turn.
(iii). Join the bisector to O to get the required angle.
E.g.

G. Constructing Angle 120⁰.


Construct angle 60⁰ as stated above and label the other side 120⁰.
e.g.
