5. Measuring and Constructing Angles
Sign In
Since the ray cuts the acute angle in two smaller angles, these have to be acute as well.
No matter how we draw the ray in the interior of the angle, the resulting angles will be less than 90^(∘) and are, therefore, acute.
Note that this is just one possibility. We could also draw the ray in the interior of the angle so we get one right angle and one acute. A third possibility is to draw the ray so we get one acute angle and one obtuse.
