Math Problem Statement
Select three names for the angle.
Solution
The image shows an angle formed by the points , , and . The angle is labeled with the number 1, and the vertex of the angle is at point .
To name this angle, you can use the following conventions:
- : The angle formed by the points , , and , with being the vertex.
- : The same angle, but named by listing the points in reverse order, with still being the vertex.
- : A simpler name for the angle, referencing only the vertex of the angle.
These three names for the angle are all correct and acceptable in geometric notation.
