Definition

Angle: An angle is made up of two rays starting from a common starting initial point.  An angle is represented by the symbol ∠.

Arms of Angle: The two rays forming the angle are called the arms or sides of the angle.

Vertex of the angle: The common initial point of two rays is the vertex of the angle.
Example:

Two rays `vec(OP)  "and"  vec(OQ)` make ∠POQ (also called ∠QOP).

Properties of Angle

  1. An angle is formed by the rotation of a ray about a fixed point.
  2. The initial position of the ray is called the initial side.
  3. The final position after rotation is the terminal side.
  4. The fixed point is the vertex.
  5. Anticlockwise rotation gives a positive angle.
  6. Clockwise rotation gives a negative angle.
