...lines. The point of concourse of the two lines is called the summit, vertex, or angular point. ED. The magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of the two lines which form it, but on the wideness of their opening. Thus, the angle ABC is greater than... | |

...into 60 equal parts, called minutes ; each minute, again, into 60 equal parts, called seconds, &c. 16. The magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of the arc intercepted by its legs; but merely on the number of degrees, minutes, seconds, &c., it measures... | |

...an angle equal to a given angle. Does the magnitude of an angle depend on the length of its sides ? The magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of its sides, but on the opening between them. Can two straight lines drawn from the same point inclose a space ? It is... | |

...meeting together, make an angle, are called the LEGS of that angle ; and it must be observed, that the magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of its legs, but solely on the degree of their inclination to each other. The point at which the legs meet... | |

...wider apart, or diverge from each other more than a right angle, they form an obtuse angle, as VQR The magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of the sides, but upon their divergence from each other; an angle is said to be greater or less than another... | |

...more than one angle were formed there, it would be distinguished as CDB or BD C. Fig. I8. The size of an angle does not depend on the length of its sides, but simply on their difference of direction. We may extend the lines DC, DB, as far as we choose, without... | |

...one of its arms must undergo in order to be */ brought to coincide with the other. It is obvious that the magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of its arms. An angle may be conceived as generated by the rotation of an arm round its extremity, the motion... | |

...revolving round the point in which it cuts another straight line AB which is fixed. It is obvious that the magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of the sides, but only on the amount of opening or ' divergence of the lines which form it. When two angles... | |
