Question from Gilbert, a student: what is a composite angle? please help |
Hi Gilbert.
The word composite is an adjective meaning "made up of several parts". So a composite angle is one that is made up of several smaller angles.
Consider this diagram:
Angle ABC is a composite angle. It is composed of angles ABD and DBC.
Hope this helps,
Stephen La Rocque.
