In
geometry and
trigonometry, an angle (in full, plane angle) is the figure formed by two
rays sharing a common
endpoint, called the
vertex of the angle. The magnitude of the angle is the "amount of rotation" that separates the two rays, and can be measured by considering the length of circular arc swept out when one ray is rotated about the vertex to coincide with the other (see "Measuring angles", below).
