Understanding Angles

An angle is formed when two rays meet at a common point called the vertex. We measure angles in degrees (°).

Why Learn Angles? Angles are everywhere! In architecture, art, sports, navigation, and even in nature. Understanding angles helps us build, design, and solve real-world problems.

⚡ Acute Angle
45° B C A
Range: 0° to 89°
Description: Sharp and narrow, less than a right angle
📐 Right Angle
90° B C A
Range: Exactly 90°
Description: Perfect corner, like a square corner
🌊 Obtuse Angle
135° B C A
Range: 91° to 179°
Description: Wide and open, more than a right angle
➡️ Straight Angle
180° B A
Range: Exactly 180°
Description: Forms a straight line
🔄 Reflex Angle
270° B C A
Range: 181° to 359°
Description: Greater than straight angle, goes "the long way around"

Angles on a Straight Line Add Up to 180°

🍅 Understanding the Concept
Drag the blue dots (C and D) to change the angles! Watch how they always add up to 180° because they form a straight line.
Key Concept
Angles on a straight line always sum to 180 degrees. Observe how the other angles adjust themselves so that the sum always remains 180 degrees.
Angle ABC + Angle CBD + Angle DBE = 60° + 60° + 60° = 180°

Sum of All Angles at a Point Equals 360°

🔥 Angles Around a Point
Drag the blue dots (C, D, or E) to change the angles! Notice how all angles around point B always add up to 360° - a complete rotation!
Key Concept
Sum of all the angles at any point equals 360 degrees. This is because a complete rotation around a point is 360°!
Angle ABC + Angle CBD + Angle DBE + Angle EBA = 90° + 90° + 90° + 90° = 360°

Adjacent and Non-Adjacent Angles

Adjacent Angles: Two angles are adjacent if they share a common vertex and a common side, but do not overlap.

Non-Adjacent Angles: Angles that do not share a common side or vertex, or angles that have another angle between them.

Adjacent Angles
A C D E B
∠ABD and ∠DBE are adjacent angles. They share vertex B and side BD.
Non-Adjacent Angles
A C D E F B
∠ABD and ∠FBA are not adjacent. They share vertex B but not a common side.

Supplementary Angles Add Up to 180°

🍅 Supplementary Angles
Drag the blue dot (C) to change the angles! Watch how angle ABC and angle CBD always add up to 180° because they are supplementary.
Key Concept
Angles ABC and CBD are Supplementary since their sum equals 180 degrees. Supplementary angles always form a straight line!
Angle ABC + Angle CBD = 90° + 90° = 180°

Complementary Angles Add Up to 90°

🍅 Complementary Angles
Drag the blue dot (C) to change the angles! Watch how angle ABC and angle CBD always add up to 90° because they are complementary.
Key Concept
Angles ABC and CBD are Complementary since their sum equals 90 degrees. Complementary angles fit together to make a right angle!
Angle ABC + Angle CBD = 60° + 30° = 90°

Vertically Opposite Angles Are Equal

🎯 Vertically Opposite Angles
Drag the blue points to change the intersection angle. Watch how the vertically opposite angles (red-red and blue-blue) always remain equal!
Mathematical Proof
Since angles on a straight line add to 180°: ∠A + ∠B = 180° and ∠B + ∠C = 180°. Therefore ∠A = ∠C. Similarly, ∠B = ∠D.
Drag the points to see how vertically opposite angles remain equal!
