This educational piece classifies angles based on their measurement ranges, covering right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. A right angle, defined as 90 degrees, is often represented with a small square. An acute angle measures less than 90 degrees, while an obtuse angle is greater than 90 but less than 180 degrees. A straight angle is exactly 180 degrees, typically identified as a line. Visual aids like arcs and degree labels clarify each type’s exact measurement, enhancing comprehension of fundamental geometry concepts.

What’s your angle? Classifying angles according to their range of measurement
RIGHT ON! • When one ray meets another ray at a 90 degree angle • A right angle exists • A small square is used to designate the 90 degree measure
Are you Trying to be CUTE? • When one ray meets another ray at an angle less than 90 degrees • An acute angle exists • An arc is usually drawn and labeled with a number and degree sign to indicate the exact measure • Since 59 is less than 90 the angle is acute 59◦
A WIDE ANGLE LENS IS NICE! • When one ray meets another ray at an greater than 90 degree but less than 180 • An obtuse angle exists • An arc is usually drawn and labeled with a number and degree sign to indicate the exact measure • Since 137 is greaterthan 90 but less than 180 the angle is obtuse 137◦
ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW! • When one ray meets another ray at twice a 90 (180) degree angle • A straight angle exists • Since a straight angle is also a line we don’t usually designate it’s measure • However occasionally it will be to rule out any misconception 180◦
