Maggie claims that to make the measure of an angle greater, you just extend the rays. How do you respond?

To respond to Maggie's claim, we can start by clarifying the concept of angle measurement. In geometry, an angle is formed when two rays share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The two rays are referred to as the sides of the angle.

Now, the measure of an angle is determined by the amount of rotation needed to bring one ray to overlap with the other, usually expressed in degrees. The larger the rotation, the greater the measure of the angle.

To make the measure of an angle greater, extending the rays is not the correct approach. Extending the rays changes the shape of the angle, but it does not change its measure. The measure of an angle depends solely on the amount of rotation, not on the length of the rays.

To actually make the measure of an angle greater, you would need to increase the amount of rotation between the rays. This can be accomplished by rotating one or both of the rays further away from each other, while keeping the vertex fixed.

In conclusion, while extending the rays may change the appearance of the angle, it does not affect its measure. To increase the measure of an angle, you need to increase the rotation between the rays, not their length.
