Angle on over here!

When it comes to Angles it can be a little tricky so I thought it would help if I explained to you the important information behind Angles in Geometry. To begin I think you might want to know what an Angle is, right? Well, an angle is formed by two rays with the same endpoint. An angle contains sides of an angle, the two rays that form an angle, and the vertex, the common endpoint of the two rays that form an angle. Below is a picture of an angle:





When it comes to the angle itself there are four different types. The first one is a right angle. A right angle consists of exactly 90 degrees. 





The next type of angle is an acute angle. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. 





Another angle is an obtuse angle. An obtuse angle consists of being more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.





The last type of angle is a straight angle. A straight angle is exactly 180 degrees.






I hope this helped you see the differences in all four different types of angles!
