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.
