Angle vs. Vertex — What's the Difference?

In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays lie in the plane that contains the rays.

The highest point; the top or apex.

To fish with a hook and line.

Each angular point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other figure.

To try to get something by indirect or artful means

The highest point; the apex or summit

To move or turn (something) at an angle

The highest point of the skull.

(Sports)To hit (a ball or puck, for example) at an angle.

The top of the head.

(Informal)To impart a biased aspect or point of view to

In astrology, the highest point reached in the apparent motion of a celestial body.

To continue along or turn at an angle or by angles

The point at which the sides of an angle intersect.

A fishhook or fishing tackle.

The point on a triangle or pyramid opposite to and farthest away from its base.

The figure formed by two lines diverging from a common point.

A point on a polyhedron common to three or more sides.

The figure formed by two planes diverging from a common line.

A point of maximal curvature on a parabola or hyperbola.

The rotation required to superimpose either of two such lines or planes on the other.

The highest point, top or apex of something.

The space between such lines or surfaces.

(anatomy) The highest surface on the skull; the crown of the head.

A solid angle.

(geometry) An angular point of a polygon, polyhedron or higher order polytope.

A sharp or projecting corner, as of a building.

The common point of the two rays that form an angle.

The place, position, or direction from which an object is presented to view

The point at which an axis meets a curve or surface.

An aspect, as of a problem, seen from a specific point of view.

(mathematics) A point on the curve with a local minimum or maximum of curvature.

(Slang)A devious method; a scheme.

A member of a Germanic people that migrated to England from southern Jutland in the 5th century AD, founded the kingdoms of Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia, and together with the Jutes and Saxons formed the Anglo-Saxon peoples.

(computer graphics) A point in 3D space, usually given in terms of its Cartesian coordinates.

(geometry) A figure formed by two rays which start from a common point (a plane angle) or by three planes that intersect (a solid angle). Category:en:Shapes

(optics) The point where the surface of a lens crosses the optical axis.

(geometry) The measure of such a figure. In the case of a plane angle, this is the ratio (or proportional to the ratio) of the arc length to the radius of a section of a circle cut by the two rays, centered at their common point. In the case of a solid angle, this is the ratio of the surface area to the square of the radius of the section of a sphere.

(particle physics) An interaction point.

A corner where two walls intersect.

(astrology) The point where the prime vertical meets the ecliptic in the western hemisphere of a natal chart.

A change in direction.

(typography) A sharp downward point opposite a crotch, as in the letters "V" and "W" but not "Y".

A viewpoint; a way of looking at something.

A turning point; the principal or highest point; top; summit; crown; apex.

(media) The focus of a news story.

The top, or crown, of the head.

Any of various hesperiid butterflies.

The zenith, or the point of the heavens directly overhead.

A storyline between two wrestlers, providing the background for and approach to a feud.

The point in any figure opposite to, and farthest from, the base; the terminating point of some particular line or lines in a figure or a curve; the top, or the point opposite the base.

(slang) An ulterior motive; a scheme or means of benefitting from a situation, usually hidden, often immoral

The point of intersection of lines or the point opposite the base of a figure

A projecting or sharp corner; an angular fragment.

The highest point (of something);

(astrology) Any of the four cardinal points of an astrological chart: the Ascendant, the Midheaven, the Descendant and the Imum Coeli.

A fishhook; tackle for catching fish, consisting of a line, hook, and bait, with or without a rod.

To place (something) at an angle.

To change direction rapidly.

To present or argue something in a particular way or from a particular viewpoint.
