Which of the following is the correct definition of an angle? A. A shape formed by two intersecting lines from a common point B. A shape formed by two intersecting rays C. A shape formed by the intersection of two lines D. A shape formed by two intersecting lines or rays

Respuesta :


A shape formed by two intersecting lines from a common point

Answer:

A. A shape formed by two intersecting lines from a common point.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

A 'line' is a line segment that is extended infinitely in both the directions whereas a 'ray' is a line segment that has one end point and extends infinitely in the other direction.

Now, an 'angle' is the figure that is formed by two rays having a common end-point.

As the angle has a common end point, therefore it is not possible to form an angle by intersecting two lines or two rays having different end points.

Hence, option A is correct.
