Real-World Examples of Angles Showing Vertex and Arms

📐 Quick Study Guide

• 📍 An angle is formed by two rays (called arms) sharing a common endpoint (called the vertex).
• 📏 Angles are typically measured in degrees (°).
• 锐 A right angle is exactly 90°.
• ↔️ A straight angle is exactly 180°.
• ⏺️ An acute angle is less than 90°.
• obtuse A obtuse angle is greater than 90° but less than 180°.
• 🔄 A reflex angle is greater than 180° but less than 360°.
• ➕ Complementary angles add up to 90°.
• ➖ Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
