Question

What's the correct label for an angle with its vertex at point Y that passes through point X on one side of the angle and point Z on the other side of the angle? A. ∠YZX B. ∠XYZ C. ∠X D. ∠ZXY

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer option is B. ∠XYZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometrical terms, an angle is the figure which is formed by two rays which are called the sides of the angle.

Here, for the described situation for a triangle XYZ, Y is the vertex with the side rays or sides of the angle YX and YZ.

Considering the sides of the angle, you can name the angle as either ∠XYZ or ∠ZYX or simple ∠Y without mentioning any side rays.
