What is an angle?

Back

An angle is formed by two rays that share a common endpoint, called the vertex.

Front

What is a right angle?

Back

A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

Front

What is the symbol for a right angle?

Back

The symbol for a right angle is a small square placed at the vertex of the angle.

Front

What are perpendicular lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is the difference between acute and obtuse angles?

Back

An acute angle measures less than 90 degrees, while an obtuse angle measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Front

What is a straight angle?

Back

A straight angle is an angle that measures exactly 180 degrees.
