 more precision is required three
letters are used to identify an angle.
The middle letter is the vertex, while
the other two letters are points one
from each side (other than the
vertex) of the angle. For example:
Union/Intersectio
n of Segments
and Ray
Use the figure below to determine
the part of the line being described
by the union or intersection of two
segments, rays or segment and ray:

WHAT IS ANGLE?
An angle is a union of two non-
collinear rays with common
endpoint. The two non-
collinear rays are the sides of
the angle while the common
endpoint is the vertex.
If no confusion will arise, an angle
can be designated by its vertex. If
more precision is required three
letters are used to identify an angle.
The middle letter is the vertex,
while the other two letters are
points one from each side (other
than the vertex) of the angle. For
