Math Problem Statement

Name the marked angle in 2 different ways.

Solution

In the image, the marked angle is at point PP (the bottom left corner). To name the marked angle in two different ways, we can use both angle notation and three-letter naming conventions.

  1. First way: Using the vertex only: The angle is located at point PP. Therefore, one way to name the angle is simply P\angle P.

  2. Second way: Using three points: In this triangle, we can use the points around the angle. The angle at PP is formed by the lines PSPS and PQPQ. Therefore, the angle can be named SPQ\angle SPQ, where PP is the vertex, and SS and QQ are points on the rays forming the angle.

Tip: Always ensure that when naming angles using three points, the vertex (the corner of the angle) is listed in the middle.
