1-4 Study Guide and Intervention: Angle Measure
A right angle is an angle whose measure is 90. An acute angle has measure less
than 90. An obtuse angle has measure greater than 90 but less than 180.
Exercises
Refer to the figure at the right.
1. Name the vertex of ∠4.
2. Name the sides of ∠BDC.
3. Write another name for ∠DBC.
Classify each angle as right, acute, or obtuse. Then use a protractor to
measure the angle to the nearest degree.
4. ∠MPR 5. ∠RPN 6. ∠NPS
1. ∠ 5 2. ∠ 3
3. ∠ 8 4. ∠ NMP
5. ∠ 6 6. ∠ 2
7. ∠ MOP 8. ∠ OMN
9. ∠ QPR 10. ∠ 1
Example: Refer to the figure above. If m∠MPN = 2x + 14 and m∠NPR = x + 34, find x and find m∠NPR.
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ bisects ∠MPR, ∠MPN ≅ ∠NPR, or m∠MPN = m∠NPR.
Since 𝑃𝑁
2x + 14 = x + 34 m∠NPR = 2x + 14
2x + 14 – x = x + 34 – x = 2(20) + 14
x + 14 = 34 = 40 + 14
x + 14 – 14 = 34 – 14 = 54
x = 20
