In our day-to-day life, we come across many physical objects having two arms joined together by a hinge. Some examples are two arms of a divider, two sharp parts of scissors, two hands of a clock, etc. These objects give us an idea about an angle in geometry, as discussed in this chapter. An angle is a figure formed by two rays with the same initial point. In order to know more about the concepts which are covered in this chapter, the students can refer to the RD Sharma Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 11 Angles Exercise 11.1 PDF provided here.
