The angle we are looking for is between the rays that start at O and pass through the points A and E.
Angle Measure: 160^(∘) Classification: Obtuse
Practice makes perfect
Let's first identify the angle we are looking for. The symbol ∠ AOE refers to the angle found between the rays that start at O and pass through the points A and E.
Examining the protractor, we can see that the ray traveling through A passes through 0^(∘). Also, the ray traveling through E passes through 160^(∘). By the Protractor Postulate, the measure of ∠ AOE is the difference between 160^(∘) and 0^(∘).
m ∠ AOE: 160^(∘)-0^(∘)=160^(∘)
Now, we can classify the angle using its measure.
