GOAL 1 Use Angle Postulates
GOAL 2 Classify angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight.
What you should learn
To solve real-life problems about angles, such as the field of vision of a horse wearing blinkers.

Measuring AnglesThe expression is read as “the ________ of angle A.”m A measure
IMPORTANT!!! Note the difference in notation between an angle and its measure. Always use the correct notation!!!
The tool used to measure angles is called a _________.protractor
The units used to measure angles are called _______, and the symbol for them is a _.

To understand the next postulate, you must understand some vocabulary:
A point that is between points that lie on each side of an angle is in the _______ of the angle.
A point that is not on an angle or in its interior is in the ________ of the angle.

GOAL 2 CLASSIFYING ANGLES
1.4 Angles and Their Measures
We can classify all angles by their measure as follows:
Angles with measures between 0 and 90 degrees: _____
90 degree angles: _____
Angles with measures between 90 and 180 degrees: ______
180 degree angles: _______
acute
right
obtuse
straight
Important!!! Anytime this box appears at the vertex of an angle, it means that the angle is a right angle. You MUST use it
when you want to show a right angle.
