An angle is the measure of rotation or space formed when two intersecting lines or rays meet at a common endpoint called a vertex. The lines extending from this vertex are called the arms or sides.
Geometry categorizes angles based on their measurements in degrees. The Four Core Angles
The four main types of angles you will interact with most frequently include:
Acute Angle: Measures less than 90° (e.g., a sharp corner).
Right Angle: Measures exactly 90° (forms a perfect square corner).
Obtuse Angle: Measures greater than 90° but less than 180°.
Straight Angle: Measures exactly 180° (creates a perfectly flat straight line).
