Types of angles

An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, with its size measured in degrees. There are several types of angles: right angles (90°), acute angles (0° to 90°), obtuse angles (90° to 180°), straight angles (180°), reflex angles (180° to 360°), and full angles (360°). Each type of angle has distinct characteristics based on its degree measure.

Types of angles

What is an angle?
An angle is formed by two rays that share a common endpoint, or vertex.

The size of the angle depends on how widely or narrowly the two rays are spread
apart. The wider open an angle is, the greater its measure. Angles are measured in
degrees.

Angles have special names based on their degree measures.

Right angles
A right angle measures exactly 90°. It is the same shape as the corner of a square.

Acute angles
An acute angle measures between 0° and 90°. It is narrower than a right angle.

Obtuse angles
An obtuse angle measures between 90° and 180°. It is wider than a right angle.

Straight angles
A straight angle measures exactly 180°. The rays form a line.

Reflex angles
A reflex angle measures between 180° and 360°. It is wider than a straight angle.

Full angles
A full angle measures exactly 360°. It is one complete rotation.
