This chapter involves the measurement of
angles and introduces types of triangle

An angle is the amount of rotation between two straight
lines
...
If a circle is divided into 360 equal parts, then each part
is called 1 degree and is written as 1◦
i
...
or
1 revolution = 360◦
1
1 degree is
th of a revolution
360
Some angles are given special names
...
• An angle equal to 90◦ is called a right angle
...
• Any angle greater than 180◦ and less than 360◦ is
called a reflex angle
...
• If two angles add up to 90◦ they are called complementary angles
...
• Parallel lines are straight lines which are in the same
plane and never meet

Such pairs of
angles are called vertically opposite angles
...
Such pairs of
angles are called corresponding angles
...
Such pairs of angles are called
alternate angles
...
Such pairs of
angles are called interior angles

1 degree = 60 minutes
which is written as
1◦ = 60

(i) 29 + 43 = 72
(ii) Since 60 = 1◦, 72 = 1◦12
(Notice that for minutes, 1 dash is used and for seconds,
2 dashes are used

2 Radians and degrees
One radian is defined as the angle subtended at the centre
of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius
