\n Geometry: Lengths & Angles\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n Points and lines are essential elements of any geometry. Lengths and angles\r\n are quantities that describe the spatial location/orientation of points and lines relative to one another.\r\n

Length
\r\n The length describes the distance of one point relative to another point.\r\n For example, the length of a side of a triangle describes the distance between the two endpoints of that side.\r\n \r\n - \n
Angle
\r\n The angle describes the orientation or direction of one line segment relative to another line segment.\r\n For example, an angle in a triangle describes the direction of one side of the triangle relative to another side.\r\n \r\n

Measuring Lengths
\r\n The length of a line segment can be measured using a ruler (or a measuring tape) and a divider (shown below).\r\n \r\n

Measuring Angles
\r\n The angle between two line segments can be measured using a device called a protractor (shown below).\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

\n MagicGraph | Lengths & Angles of a Right-angled Triangle\n
\r\n \r\n
The goal of this MagicGraph is to help students learn measuring lengths and angles.

Getting Started
\r\n You're given a ruler and a protractor. Use the ruler to measure the lengths of the three sides of the triangle. Use the protractor to measure\r\n the angle ∠AOB of the triangle.\r\n - \n
To Explore
\r\n Drag point B of the triangle to generate different triangle configurations. Explore acute, obtuse, and right angles.\r\n \r\n
