 New Vocabulary
Ray: is a part of a line, it has one endpoint
and extends indefinitely in one direction. **
Always name rays with their endpoint first!!
A B
Opposite Rays: are two rays that share an
endpoint AND form a straight line!

X Y Z

Ray YX and ray YZ are opposite rays

Note when naming an angle with three letters,

the vertex must always be the middle letter!
 Example
Name all the angles that have B as a vertex

Classify the angles
 Congruent Angles

An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle

into two congruent angles
 Example
In the figure, Rays QP and QR are opposite
rays, and ray QT bisects angle RQS.

S T

P
 Example
If angle RQT = 6x + 5 and angle
SQT = 7x – 2 find RQT

S T

P
 Answer
6x + 5 = 7x – 2
7=x

RQT = 6(7) + 5
= 42 + 5
= 47
 Example
Find angle TQS if angle RQS = 22a – 11 and
angle RQT = 12a - 8

S T

P
 Answer
22a – 11 = 2(12a – 8)
22a – 11 = 24a – 16
5 = 2a
a = 2.5

TQS = RQT
= 12(2.5) – 8
= 30 – 8
= 22
 How to use a protractor…
First make sure the numbers are not backwards, then you line
up the center of the circle on the bottom of the protractor with
the vertex of the angle
This is the hole to
be lined up with
the vertex
 Using a protractor…
Use the small line through the circle to line up the side of the
angle. DO NOT use the bottom of the protractor!!
 Using a protractor…
You always start at 0 on the side of the angle you lined up, this is how you
tell to use the inside or outside numbers!

We are using the inside numbers here since 0 starts on the right!!
 Answer
The angle measure is approximately 73 0
Using a protractor continued…
What is the measure of the ange?
 Answer
107o we are using the outside numbers
because the angles edge is to the left
 Summarizing Lesson 1.4
Write a note to the
absent student
explaining lesson 1.4,
be very specific about
the things we learned.
You may use your
foldable and notes if
you would like. Write
complete sentences!!!
