The Included Angle

Part of the Congruence & Proof section of Coddy's Geometry journey. Lesson 16 of 63.

Two sides of a triangle meet at a corner. The angle at that corner, the one the two sides make with each other, is called the included angle of those sides: it is included between them.

Triangle ABC with ticks on AB and BC and an arc at B

Here sides AB and BC meet at B, so their included angle is ∠ABC. The other two angles, at A and at C, each touch only one of the two sides. A quick test: the included angle's vertex is the letter the two side names share. AB and BC share B.
