Comparing Angular Measurements: Which Angle Has Greater Magnitude?

Question

Indicates which angle is greater

00:00 Which angle is larger?

00:03 According to the drawing, we can see that the left angle is larger

00:06 And this is the solution to the question

In drawing A, we can see that the angle is more closed:

While in drawing B, the angle is more open:

In other words, in drawing A the angle is more acute, while in drawing B the angle is more obtuse.

We'll remember that the more obtuse an angle is, the larger it is.

Therefore, the larger angle appears in drawing B.
