Q

An acute angle.

A

An acute angle is defined as an angle that measures greater than 0° and less than 90°. In other words, any angle smaller than a right angle (90°) is considered acute. Examples of acute angles include 30°, 45°, and 60°.

Q

A right angle

A

A right angle is an angle formed when two lines meet so that they create a square corner.
It measures exactly 90 degrees, which is one-quarter of a full 360-degree rotation.
The symbol for a right angle is often a small square drawn at the vertex where the two lines meet.

Q

A reflex angle

A

In geometry, an angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint called the vertex. A reflex angle specifically refers to the angle that is larger than a straight angle (180°) but smaller than a full rotation (360°).

Q

A straight angle

A

A straight angle is defined as an angle that is equal to 180 degrees. The reason it is called a straight angle is because it appears as a straight line. In other words, it is an angle whose sides lie in opposite directions from the vertex in the same straight line.
