1. Classify Angles
Sign In
The symbol ∠is used to name an angle.
Names: ∠K, ∠8, ∠IKH, ∠HKI
Angle Type: obtuse
Whenever we want to name an angle, we use the symbol ∠.
Each angle can be named in several ways. One way to name an angle is to use the letter or number that corresponds to the vertex of the angle. In this case, it is ∠K or ∠8.
| Type | Measure |
|---|---|
| Acute | 0^(∘) |
| Right | m=90^(∘) |
| Obtuse | 90^(∘) |
| Straight | m=180^(∘) |
Because our angle is more than 90^(∘), we know that it is obtuse.
