Types of angles

Topic:- Angles

In geometry and trigonometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle .

There are total 5 types of angles.

  1. Acute Angle : an angle that is less than 90°, is called as acute angle.
  2. Obtuse Angle:an angle that is greater than 90° but less than 180°
  3. Right Angle :an angle that is 90° exactly , is called as right angle.Right angle triangle means an angle of a triangle should be 90°.
  4. Straight Angle:an angle that is 180° exactly
  5. Reflex Angle : an angle that is greater than 180°

We can recognize the angle in the following picture.
