Angles and Their Types

All About Angles

Angles are formed where two lines meet, and they help us describe turns, corners, and rotations.

Types of Angles

  • Acute Angle: Less than 90°
  • Right Angle: Exactly 90°
  • Obtuse Angle: Greater than 90° but less than 180°
  • Straight Angle: Exactly 180°

Angle Fun Facts

Angles are everywhere—from the corners of a book to the hands of a clock!

Measuring Angles

Use a protractor to measure angles in degrees (\(^{\circ}\)).

Real-Life Uses

Angles help us create ramps, design roads, and even play sports!

Key Formula

\[\text{Angle in degrees} = \frac{\text{Arc Length}}{\text{Radius}} \times 57.296\]

Examples

  • The corners of a square are right angles.

  • A pizza slice has an acute angle at the tip.

In a Nutshell

Angles describe how much two lines turn where they meet.

Key Terms
