Lines, Rays, and AnglesThis fourth grade geometry lesson teaches the definitions for a line, ray, angle, acute angle, right angle, and obtuse angle.We also study how the size of the angle is ONLY determined by how much it has 'opened' as compared to the whole circle.The lesson contains many varied exercises for students.AThis is point A.Points are namedwith capital letters.When two points are connected with a straightline, we get a linesegment. We call this linesegment AB or line segmentAB (note the baron top).The sides of a triangleare line segments.A line has no beginning point or end point.
Prepare with our SBAC Grade 6 Math practice test questions. These questions will help you increase your SBAC Grade 6 Math exam score. The angles opposite each other in a parallelogram are equal in measure. So,?R has an equal measure to?T, or 35°. The sum of the measures of these two angles is 35 + 35 = 70.
Imagine it continuingindefinitely in both directions.We can illustrate that by little arrows on both ends.We can name a line using two points on it. This is line EF or line(note the arrowheads).Or, we can name a line using a lowercase letter: this is lines.A ray starts out at a point and continuesoff to infinity. We can showthat by drawing anarrow at one end of the ray. Think of the sun's rays:they start at thesun and go on indefinitely.We can name a ray using its starting point and one other point thatison the ray: this is ray QP or ray(note theone arrowhead). Or, we canname a ray using a lowercase letter: this isray r.What isan angle? Many peoplethink that an angle is some kind ofslanted line.But in geometry an angleis made up of two rays thathavethe same beginning point.Thatpoint is called the vertex and the two rays are called thesidesofthe angle.To name anangle, we use three points, listing the vertex in the middle.This is angleDEF or ∠DEF. We can use the symbol ∠ for angle.1. Write if each figure is a line, ray, line segment,or an angle, and name it.a. Find the angle formed by the rays DE and DF.How do we name it?b.
Find the angle formedby the rays CA and CE.How do we name it?c. (a line, aline segment, or a ray)?3.
Draw two points, D and E. Then drawline DE.b. Draw point Q not on theline.c. Draw rays DQ and EQ.d. Find angles EDQ and DEQ in yourdrawing.Imagine that the two sides of the angle start side by side,and thenopen up toa certain point. When the two sides “openup”, they drawan imaginary arc of a circle. (You can illustrate this with two pencilsas thetwo sides of an angle. Keep one pencil stationarywhile you rotatethe other.)If the angle opens up to a fullcircle, we say the angle is360 degrees (360째).This angle is half of the full circle,so it measures 180째.
It is calledthe straightangle.Your two pencils (rays) arelyingdown flat or straight on the floor.This is one-fourth of thefull circle, so it is 90°.This is called the rightangle.Table and bookcorners are right angles.In each of these pictures the angle is opened more andmore and keepsgetting bigger. The arc of the circle is larger.These angles are acute angles, which means they are lessthan a rightangle (less than 90째). Think of acute angles as sharp angles. If someone stabbedyou with the vertex of an acute angle, it would feel sharp.The angle is opened evenmore now. It is an obtuseangle: an angle that ismore than aright angle,yet lessthan a straightangle.Think of obtuse angles asdull angles.Here's another way of thinkingabout angles.

Think of a sun rising in the morning in the horizon, gradually getting higher,and traveling through the sky along an arc of acircle.How big is the angle?It does not matter how long the sides of the angleare. Remember, they are rays, and rays go on indefinitely. Butwhen we draw them on paper, we have to draw them as ending somewhere.The sides of theangle might even seem to have different lengths. That doesn'tmatter either. The size of the angle is ONLY determined by howmuch it has “opened” as compared to the whole circle. Think how big an arc of a circlethe sides have drawn, as compared to a whole circle.Which of these two angles is bigger?Look at how much theangle has opened?How big a part of a circle have the sides drawn?The second angle (on the right) is bigger.Many times the arrows are omitted from the rays, and thearc of the circle is drawn as a tiny arc near the vertex.Even that is not necessary. Which of these is a bigger angle?Again, the second one.4.
Which angle is bigger? Sketch three differentacuteangles.b. Sketch three differentobtuse angles.c. Sketch a right angleanda straight angle.6. Label the angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. Tohelp, make these angles with two pencils,checking how much you needto open up the angle. A triangle has three angles. Infact, the word tri-angle means a three-angled shape. Which of the trianglesa, b, or c has oneobtuse angle?Which has one right angle?a.b.c.8.
(Optional) Make ageometry notebook where you write down each new term and draw a pictureorpictures that illustrate theterm. Use colors and tidy writing. It is like yourpersonal geometrydictionary.
You can also do any drawing problems from thelessons in it. Drawing and writingyourself, instead ofjust reading, can help you remember the terms better!.Grade 1.Grade 2.Grade 3.Grade 4.Grade 1.Grade 2.Grade 3.Grade 3.Grade 4.Grade 3.Grade 4.Divisibility.

To do that, they need to see the RELATIONSHIP between the different quantities in the problem.
