For example, any time you say “walk along this line” or “watch out, this road quickly angles to the left”, you are using geometric terms to make sense of the environment around you. In the world of mathematics, each of these geometric terms has a specific definition. It is important to know these definitions—as well as how different figures are constructed—to become familiar with the language of geometry.

The amount of rotation determines the measure of the angle. An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin and its initial side lies along the positive x-axis. A positive angle is measured counterclockwise from the initial side and a negative angle is measured clockwise.

It defines the dot product mathematically in Rn and explains properties like commutativity and distributivity. Length is derived from the dot product, and the distance between points is defined as the length of the connecting vector. Unit vectors are introduced, and orthogonality is defined as having a dot product of zero.

The ray in its initial position is called the initial side of the angle, and the position of the ray after it has been rotated is called the terminal side of the ray. The endpoint of the ray is called the vertex of the angle. When the vertex of an angle is at the origin in the xy-plane and the initial side lies along the positive x-axis, we see that the angle is in standard position.

    An angle is the figure formed by two rays with a common end point, The two rays are called the sides of the angle and the common end point is called the vertex of the angle.
