Acute Angle

An acute angle is a type of angle that measures less than 90°. For example, when
the time is 11 o'clock, the angle formed between the hour hand and the minute
hand is an acute angle. In other words, 30°, 40°, 57°, and so on are all acute angles.
Right Angle
A right angle is an angle that measures 90 degrees. It is the most commonly seen
angle in our day-to-day life. It can be seen in the corners of a room, the edges of
boxes, the screen of a mobile phone, and so on. The sides of a square and a
rectangle always form a right angle with each other. In radians, it is represented as
π/2. Let us discuss more about a right angle in this article.
Obtuse Angle
In geometry, an obtuse angle is defined as an angle that is greater than 90° and
less than 180°. Often during a day in a 24 hours duration, we can see a clock
framing many obtuse angle degrees between a minute hand and an hour hand. Let
us learn more about the obtuse angle and its properties.
Straight Angle
A straight angle measures 180° and looks like a straight line, therefore, it is a
mathematical way of expressing a straight line. It is an angle whose arms lie in
opposite directions from the vertex and they join together to form 180°. Let us
learn more about the straight angle in this article.
Reflex Angle
A reflex angle is an angle that is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360
degrees. A reflex angle always has a corresponding angle which lies on the other
side of it.
Complete Angle
A complete angle is a type of angle that measures 360°. An angle is formed when
two lines intersect at a point and the measure of the opening between these two
lines. There are different types of angles such as a right angle, acute angle, obtuse
angle, and so on. A complete angle deals with one full rotation measuring 360°.
