If a ray OA starting from its original position
OA, rotates about O, in the anticlockwise
  Linear pair of angles direction and after making a complete
revolution it comes back to its original position,
we say that it has rotated through 360 degrees,
  Vertically opposite angles written as 360°.

SOME BASIC TERMS This complete rotation is divided into 360 equal
parts. Each part measures 1°.
 Line segment:
1° = 60 minutes, written as 60'.
A part (or portion) of a line with two end points
1' = 60 seconds, written as 60''.
 Ray:
We use a protractor to measure an angle.
A part of a line with one end point.
 Types of angles:
 Collinear points:
If three or more points lie on the same line other B
wise these are called non collinear points.
