Three students attempt to define the geometric object called an angle.

Can you match the teacher's comments to the definitions?

Definition of an angle	Teacher's comments
Duru's definition: An angle is two rays, such as $\overrightarrow{VA}$ and $\overrightarrow{VB}$ , that share a common vertex, which in this case would be point $V$ . Oliver's definition: An angle is the amount of space between two rays. For example, $\angle AVB$ is the amount of turn between $\overrightarrow{VA}$ and $\overrightarrow{VB}$ . Carlos' definition: The intersection of two lines, such as $\overleftrightarrow{AC}$ and $\overleftrightarrow{BD}$ .	Were you thinking of the measure of an angle? Correct! Your mental acuity continues to impress me. Sorry, this is incorrect.
