Angle Measurement Basics

Fundamental concepts for accurate angle measurement

  • • A full circle measures 360° (360 degrees)
  • • A half circle (straight angle) is 180° (180 degrees)
  • • A quarter circle (right angle) is 90° (90 degrees)
  • • Angles are measured in degrees, represented by the symbol °

Types of Angles

Acute Angle

0° < angle < 90°

An angle that is less than 90 degrees. Common in triangles and everyday objects.

Examples:
  • Corner of a book
  • Roof pitch
  • Scissors when slightly open

Right Angle

angle = 90°

An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. Forms a perfect corner.

Examples:
  • Corner of a square
  • Wall meeting floor
  • Book corner

Obtuse Angle

90° < angle < 180°

An angle that is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Examples:
  • Open laptop screen
  • Reclining chair back
  • Open door

Straight Angle

angle = 180°

An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees. Forms a straight line.

Examples:
  • Horizon line
  • Straight road
  • Flat table edge

Reflex Angle

180° < angle < 360°

An angle that is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.

Examples:
  • Clock hands at 10:00
  • Open compass
  • Partially opened fan

Angle Relationships

Complementary Angles

Two angles that add up to 90°

Formula:
Angle A + Angle B = 90°
Example: If one angle is 30°, its complement is 60°
Use Case: Used in right triangles and perpendicular constructions

Supplementary Angles

Two angles that add up to 180°

Formula:
Angle A + Angle B = 180°
Example: If one angle is 120°, its supplement is 60°
Use Case: Found in linear pairs and parallel line constructions

Vertical Angles

Opposite angles formed when two lines intersect

Formula:
Vertical angles are always equal
Example: When two lines cross, opposite angles are the same
Use Case: Important in geometry proofs and constructions

Adjacent Angles

Two angles that share a common vertex and side

Formula:
No specific formula, but often used in calculations
Example: Two angles next to each other on a straight line
Use Case: Building blocks for more complex angle relationships

Real-World Applications
