The angle we are looking for is between the rays that start at O and pass through the points B and D.
Angle Measure: 50^(∘) Classification: Acute
Practice makes perfect
Let's first identify the angle we are looking for. The symbol ∠BOD refers to the angle found between the rays that start at O and pass through the points B and D.
Examining the protractor, we can see that the ray traveling through B passes through 0^(∘). Also, the ray traveling through D passes through 50^(∘). By the Protractor Postulate, the measure of ∠BOD is the difference between 50^(∘) and 0^(∘).
m ∠BOD: 50^(∘)-0^(∘)=50^(∘)
Now, we can classify the angle using its measure.
