Math Problem Statement
Please select all of the valid angle names from the options provided, based on the diagram of points K, L, M connected by lines.
Solution
The diagram shows three points , , and , connected by lines, forming angles at point . Based on the geometric configuration and the labeled points, we can determine which angle names are valid.
Naming angles:
- The middle letter of an angle name indicates the vertex where the angle is located.
- Therefore, any valid angle must have point as the middle letter, as is where the two lines meet to form angles.
Valid angle names:
- (the angle formed by points , , and )
- (the same angle as but named in reverse order)
The other names are not valid because:
- They either do not have as the vertex (e.g., , ).
- They list points in an order that does not form an angle based on the diagram (e.g., , ).
Therefore, the valid angle names are:

Here are five related questions to expand on this:
- How can you determine the vertex of an angle from a given angle name?
- Why are some angle names considered invalid in this context?
- How can we distinguish between different angles at a single point when more lines are present?
- What is the significance of reversing the order of points in angle naming (e.g., vs. )?
- How can you calculate the measure of an angle if you know the positions of the points?
Tip: When naming an angle, always ensure the vertex is the middle point in the three-letter name.
