How are angles named?

Published in Geometry 1 min read

Angles can be named in several ways, most commonly using points on the angle or by a number.

Here's a breakdown of how angles are named, based on the provided reference:

  • Using three points: An angle can be named using three points: a point on one ray, the vertex (the point where the two rays meet), and a point on the other ray. For example, an angle with vertex "F" and points "G" and "E" on its rays can be named angle GFE or angle EFG. The vertex must always be the middle letter.
