However, to be more specific, you use a point from each arm along with the vertex.
For instance, the angle formed by rays can be named Angle DBE or Angle
EBD.
The symbol for an angle is "∠", so you can write it as ∠DBE or ∠EBD. It's important to
remember that when naming the angle, the vertex (point B) is always written in the middle.
Real-Life Examples of Angles
Angles are everywhere in daily life:
Compass/Divider: When you turn the arms of a compass, an angle is formed at the vertex
where the arms join.
Scissors: When you open the blades, they create an angle, with the point where they meet
as the vertex.
By observing these objects, you can see how angles are formed by the rotation or turning of one part
in relation to another.
