5. Measuring and Constructing Angles
Sign In
Angle Measure: 65^(∘)
Classification: Acute angle
Let's first identify the angle we want. 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 65^(∘). By the Protractor Postulate, the measure of ∠ BOD is the difference between 65^(∘) and 0. m ∠ BOD: 65^(∘)-0^(∘)=65^(∘) Now, we can classify the angle using its measure.
Type | Measure |
---|---|
Acute | 0^(∘) |
Right | m=90^(∘) |
Obtuse | 90^(∘) |
Straight | m=180^(∘) |
Because our angle is 65^(∘), we know that it is an acute angle.
