Angle Identification
1. **Identify which figure represents an angle.**
- (a) → is a ray, not an angle.
- (b) ∧ looks like two rays coming together but without a vertex, it's not a symbol for an angle.
- (c) ∠ is the symbol that represents an angle.
- (d) Two parallel rays upward do not form an angle between them.
**Answer:** (c) ∠ represents an angle.
2. **Name each angle in two ways:**
(a) Given points: B → A, → C.
- The vertex is point A because both rays meet at A.
- Two ways to name the angle:
1. ∠BAC
2. ∠CAB
(b) Given points: L ∠ 4 M → N.
- The angle is at point M, between L4 and MN (assuming 4 is a point or label at the vertex).
- Two ways to name the angle:
1. ∠L4M
2. ∠4MN
(c) Given points: X ← Y, Z ↓.
- The vertex is Y (rays point to and from Y).
- Two ways to name the angle:
1. ∠XYZ
2. ∠ZYX
3. **Name vertices and arms of given angles:**
(a) E → D, → F
- Vertex: D
- Arms: ray DE, ray DF
(b) P ∧ R, S
- Vertex: R
- Arms: rays RP and RS
(c) X ← Y, Z →
- Vertex: Y
- Arms: ray YX, ray YZ
(d) M ↑ P → O
- Vertex: P
- Arms: ray PM, ray PO
(e) L → M → N
- Vertex: M
- Arms: ray ML, ray MN
(f) Q → P, R ↓
- Vertex: P
- Arms: ray PQ, ray PR
4. **Angles in each figure and name them:**
(a) Four rays starting from one point like a star
- Number of angles: 6 (each pair of adjacent rays forms an angle)
- Named by the vertex O and pairs of rays, e.g., ∠AOB, ∠BOC, ∠COD, ∠DOE, ∠EOF, ∠FOA (assuming rays named A, B, C, D)
(b) Two crossing lines forming an X
- Number of angles formed: 4
- Named by the points where lines cross, e.g., ∠AOB, ∠BOC, ∠COD, ∠DOA
(c) Two separated rays forming an angle
- Number of angles: 1
- Named by the vertex and rays, e.g., ∠XYZ
5. **Mark points R, S, T not collinear, draw ∠RST and name:**
- Vertex: S
- Arms: ray SR and ray ST
- Angle: ∠RST or ∠TSR
6. **Drawing angles: Since drawings cannot be created here, the instructions to draw each angle are:**
(a) ∠DEF: Draw rays DE and DF meeting at E
(b) ∠POQ: Draw rays PO and QO meeting at O
(c) ∠UVW: Draw rays UV and UW meeting at V
(d) ∠3: Draw the angle labeled 3 on the provided figure
(e) ∠4: Draw the angle labeled 4 on the provided figure
**Summary:** The key skill is identifying vertices as the point where rays or lines meet and naming angles by three points with the vertex in the middle.
