Question

Which of the following is true regarding the angle shown?

A. The angle is formed by two segments.

B. The vertex of the angle is at point A.

C. The angle can be named as either
D. The angle can only be named as in alphabetical order.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

We know that A is not true because the angle is formed by rays, not line segments. We know this because the ends of the lines are arrowheads, which indicates that they are rays. You might be saying that A is true because BA and BC form the angle but actually, even if you removed points A and C, you would still have the angle. B is not correct because according to the diagram, the vertex is point B, not point A. The vertex of an angle is the common endpoint of the two rays that form the angle, therefore it would be point B. D is not correct because angles can have multiple names, the letters do not have to be in alphabetical order. Therefore, C is correct.
