JSS1 Mathematics Third Term: Identification and Properties of Angles

Angles as Rotation

We use the word angle for amount of turn. For example the figures below show the hands of a clock move between 12 ‘clock to 12 ‘ clock.

Both hands turn. In one hour the amount that each hand turns is different

The minute hand makes one complete turn, or one revolution

The angle turned = 1 revolution.

As we can measure length, we can measure angle. To avoid fractions, one revolution is divided into 360 equal parts. Each part is called a degree. We use the symbol ­ 0 for degree.

1 revolution = 360 degrees or 3600

10 = 1/360 revolution

Angles between Lines

The figure below shows two lines AB and CB. The lines meet at the point B.
