Document Summary

In pre-school we learned the definition of what an angle is through radiant and degree. Angles originated from old english, old french, old german, latin and greek words for hook . Angle is defined as two lines in a plane that meet each other and doesn"t in a straight line. The three different aspects that define angle are a dynamic notion of angle (movement), angle as measure and angle as geometric shape. The dynamic notion is an act of a rotation, which is a turning point or a change in direction between two lines. As the angle measures can be thought of as the length of a circular arcs or a ration between areas of circular sectors. This will reflect on a geometric shape, of an angle that may be seen as the delineation of space by two intersecting lines. Perspectives carried the methods for checking angles through congruency.
