Defining Angles

There are 4 main types of angles

     Acute Angle                                                            Right Angle
             measures less than 90                                                                                     measures exactly 90
The little box tells us that it measures 90

 
            

               










 Obtuse Angle                                                           Straight Angle
measures more than 90                                                                                       measures exactly 180







       





Watch this angle change from acute to right to obtuse to straight and back again. 

Angles can face all different directions.  They don't always look like the ones above.  Look at the examples below. 

All of these angles are ACUTE angles: 


All of these are RIGHT angles:

All of these are OBTUSE angles:


All of these are STRAIGHT angles:
