An angle can be defined as two rays or two line segments having a common end point. The endpoint becomes known as the vertex(shared endpoints). An angle occurs when two rays meet or unite at the same endpoint.

An angle can be identified as ABC or CBA. You can also write this angle as B which names the vertex (common endpoint of the two rays)

The vertex (in this case B) is always written as the middle letter. It matters not where you place the letter or number of your vertex, it is acceptable to place the it on the inside or the outside of your angle.

You can also name the vertex by using a number. For instance, B could also be named angle 3 if you choose to change the letter to a number. Angle ABC or CBA would be names A3C or C3A or 3.

What is the similarity between a vertex and angle?

An angle is "between" 2 intersecting lines. The point of intersection is the vertex of the angle. The angle can be named just using the vertes if this does not cause confusion.


How do you measure solid angle?

A solid angle, measured from a vertex, is the ratio between the area subtended by the angle at the vertex and the the square of the distance to the vertex. The unit of measurement is the stradian.

What is the measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle if one of the angles measure 58?

If the 58°-angle is one of the base angles, then the vertex angle is 64°.If the 58°-angle is the vertex angle, then the vertex angle is 58°.


How many vertices and angle does decagon have?

A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.


The distance between two sides of the angle gets bigger as you go farther from the vertex so why is the angle measure the same no matter how far from the vertex you measure it?

Because the vertex is always in the same spot and its not the length of the line but the distance between the two lines that make the angle measure


What is the measure of an exterior angle adjacent to the vertex angle?

It is: 180-vertex angle = exterior angle


Explain the difference between a central angle and an inscribed angle?

A central angle has its vertex at the center of a circle, and two radii form the Arms. Central angle AOC is described as subtended by the chords AC and by the arc AC. An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle, and two chords form the arms. Inscribed angle ABC is also described as subtended by the chord AC and by the arc AC.


Does the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle divides the triangle into two congruent?

Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.
