Define the following terms:

(i) Angle


(ii) Interior of an angle


(iii) Obtuse angle


(iv) Reflex angle


(v) Complementary angles


(vi) Supplementary angles

(i) Angle – A shape formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common vertex.


Types of angle: (a) Acute angle (less than 90°)


(b) Right angle (exactly 90°)


(c) Obtuse angle (between 90° and 180°)


(d) Straight angle (exactly 180°)


(e) Reflex angle (between 180° and 360°)


(f) Full angle (exactly 360°)


(ii) Interior of an angle – The area between the rays that make up an angle and extending away from the vertex to infinity.


The interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180°.



(iii) Obtuse angle – It is an angle that measures between 90 to 180 degrees.



(iv) Reflex angle – It is an angle that measures between 180 to 360 degrees.



(v) Complementary angles – Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of two angles is 90°.



(vi) Supplementary angles – Angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of two angles is 180°.
