Problem of the Day
The measure of Jack’s angle is twice that of Amy’s and half that of Nate’s. The sum of the measures of Amy’s and Trisha’s angles is equal to the sum of the measures of Jack’s and Nate’s angles. The sum of the measures of all the angles is equal to 180°. What is the measure of each student’s angle?
Jack’s angle: 30°; Nate’s angle: 60°; Amy’s angle: 15°; Trisha’s angle: 75°

7-2 Angles
An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint, called the vertex. An angle can be named by its vertex or by its vertex and a point from each ray. The middle point in the name should always be the vertex.
Angles are measured in degrees. The number of degrees determines the type of angle. Use the symbol ° to show degrees: 90° means “90 degrees.”
Course 1
7-2 Angles
An acute angle measures less than 90°.
A right angle measures exactly 90°.
Course 1
7-2 Angles
An obtuse angle measures more than 90° and less than 180°.
A straight angle measures exactly 180°.

To estimate the measure of an angle, compare it with an angle whose measure you already know. A right angle has half the measure of a straight angle. A 45° angle has half the measure of a right angle.

Additional Example 3: Estimating Angle Measures
Estimate the measure of the angle, and then use a protractor to check the reasonableness of your estimate.
Think: The measure of the angle is about halfway between 90° and 180°. A good estimate would be 135°.
The angle measures 131°, so the estimate is reasonable.

Think: The measure of the angle is a little more than halfway between 0° and 90°. A good estimate would be 50°.
The angle measures 52°, so the estimate is reasonable.
