An angle is the figure formed by two line segments extending from a point, the vertex of the angle. Angles are studied in geometry and trigonometry.
Measuring angles
In order to measure an angle, a circle centered at the vertex is drawn. The radian measure of the angle is the length of the arc cut out by the angle, divided by the circle's radius. The degree measure of the angle is the length of the arc, divided by the circumference of the circle, and multiplied by 360. The symbol for degrees is a small superscript circle, as in 360°. The grad, also called grade or gon, is a angular measure where the arc is divided by the circumference, and multiplied by 400. It is used mostly in triangulation.
2π radians is equal to 360° (a full circle), so one radian is about 57° and one degree is π/180 radians.
Mathematicians generally prefer angle measurements in radians because this removes the arbitrariness of the number 360 in the degree system and because the trigonometric functions can be developed into particularly simple Taylor series if their arguments are specified in radians. The SI system of units uses radians as the (derived) unit for angles.
Types of angles
An angle of &pi/2 radians or 90 degrees, one-quarter of the full circle is called a right angle. Two line segments which form a right angle are said to be perpendicular:
Angles smaller than a right angle are called acute; angles larger than a right angle are called obtuse. Angles larger than two right angles are called reflex angles.
Some facts
The inner angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees or π radians; the inner angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees or 2π radians. In general, the inner angles of a simple polygon with n sides add up to (n-2)180 degrees or (n-2)π radians.
If two straight lines intersect, four angles are formed. Each one is equal to its opposite.
If a straight line intersects two parallel lines, corresponding angles at the two points of intersection are equal.
Angles in different contexts
In the Euclidean plane, the angle θ between two vectorss u and v is related to their dot product and their lengths by the formula
This allows one to define angles in any real inner product space, replacing the Euclidean dot product · by the Hilbert space inner product <·,·>.
The angle of two intersecting curves is defined to be the angle between the tangents at the point of intersection.
Two intersectin planes form an angle, called their dihedral angle. It is defined as the angle between two lines normal to the planes.
See also solid angle for a concept of angle in three dimensions.
Angles in Riemannian Geometry
In Riemannian geometry, the metric tensor is used to define the angle between two tangents. Where and are tangent vectors and are the components of the metric tensor ,
Angles in Astronomy
In astronomy, one can measure the angular separation of two stars by imagining two lines through the Earth, each one intersecting one of the stars. Then the angle between those lines can be measured; this is the angular separation between the two stars.Astronomers also measure the apparent size of objects. For example, the full moon has an angular measurement of 0.5°, when viewed from Earth. One could say, "The Moon subtends an angle of half a degree." The small-angle formula can be used to convert such an angular measurement into a distance/size ratio.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Angles (German: Angeln, Old English: Englas, Latin: Angli) were one of the Germanic peoples who migrated from continental Germany to Britain in the 5th century, along with the Saxons and Jutes. That land was later called Engla-lond (in Old English - "Land of the Angles"), thus England. They founded (according to sources such as the Venerable Bede) Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia. Thanks to the major influence of the Angles, the people of England are also known as Anglo-Saxons, and, of course English. A region of the United Kingdom is known by the name East Anglia.
The Angle homeland, a small peninsular form in the southern portion of the modern German bundesland of Schleswig-Holstein, itself on the Jutland Peninsula is still called Angeln today, and is formed as a triangle drawn roughly from modern Flensburg on the Flensburger Fjord to Kiel and then to Maasholm on the Schlei inlet. The region's shape, 'an angle' is generally believed to be source Angle toponym, although some suggest angeln as in "to fish" as an alternative.
In any case, this geographic localization of the original Angle tribal group has lead to one of the Anglo-Saxon Invasion's enduring mysteries; namely how it is possible that the Angles were so frequently mentioned as colonizers of ancient Britain while evidence of the also powerful influence of the neighboring Frisians concurrent colonizing activities Britain has been strongly limited to that discoveries in archeological science and more often by un-evidenced though logical deductions and inferences alone. Of course, ethnic Frisians are known to have inhabited the land directly in the path of any invasion route from Angeln to Great Britain and infact, also inhabited lands between the ancient Saxon domaine and Britain, yet they are rarely mentioned as having taken part in the vast migration.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Anglo-Saxons were a non-Celtic people who inhabited Britain from perhaps as early as the mid-5th century. They are considered ancestral to the contemporary English, so in a sense they can be thought as still living in Britain.
The Anglo-Saxon Invasions
The Romanss had largely abandoned Britain by the second decade of the 5th century AD. Either because of the need to replace this significant military power, or because of its absence, the Anglo-Saxons came to settle on the east coast of the island. Although how these people came to control Britain is unclear, it is clear that their migration was part of the widespread movement of peoples on the mainland of Europe at this time.During the 6th Century there was organised British resistance to the invaders which succeeded in slowing the invasion, if not halting it for some time, which culminated in the Battle of Mons Badonicus. A figure today known as "King Arthur" may have been the leader and his fabled "Knights of the Round Table" may preserve the names of the leaders who fought with him at this battle, as well as in other parts on the island. The institution of High King of Britain was abolished following the death of Cadwallon the Great in the 8th Century and appears to testiment to the feeling of resignation the Britons must have felt. Interestingly the modern Welsh word for England "Lloegyr" means "the lost lands".
By the beginning of the 7th century AD the vast majority of the island of Britain was under the control of a number of Germanic tribes, the best known of which were the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. The process that they came to possess this island is sometimes collectively known as the Saxon conquest, although this is something of a misnomer. Other tribes, such as the Frisians, are known to have taken part, but their contribution is unknown. They established a large number of kingdoms in what today is known as England which became consolidated into seven states collectively known as the Heptarchy.
According to tradition, Kent was established first by a group known as the Jutes led by a King Hengest and possibly by another - maybe his brother - called Horsa. Horsa may be another name for Hengest in a different tongue. Tradition holds that the Saxons advanced inland and Sussex was established next, swiftly followed by Essex. Middlesex and Surrey may have had a short-lived independent existence but were absorbed into Essex.
The Angles established kingdoms in the north, east and centre of Britain, namely: East Anglia, Mercia, Deira and Bernicia. East Anglia's beginnings are a complete mystery and hardly any records survive of its foundation or indeed the fate of the native Britains - once the mighty celtic Iceni tribe - who had dwelt there before. The name Mercia may mean "marches" i.e. a frontier area facing the Celtic romano-Britains or Welsh. Deira and Bernicia appear to be Anglian corruptions of older British geographical names and the two states merged together to form the kingdom of Northumbria.
The fate of the Romano-British is a matter of conjecture. At one point, historians believed the account of Gildas uncritically, and thought that the invaders slaughtered all whom they encountered in an act of genocide. More recent historians, such as H.P.R. Finberg, have argued that they largely survived, and lived under the Anglo-Saxon invaders as slaves or serfs. By the time reliable historical records begin once again, it is clear that the rule of the native inhabitants had retreated into the western parts of the island in Cornwall and Wales.
Anglo-Saxon Religion
Four of the Anglo-Saxon gods have given English the names of the days of the week
- Tiw:the god of war = Tuesday
- Woden: the clever one-eyed leader of the gods, and the Anglo-Saxon equivalent of the Norse god Odin = Wednesday
- Thunor, the Anglo-Saxon form of Thor: the thunder hammer = Thursday
- Frige: the love-goddess = Friday
