Various Types of Angles

Zero Angle The angle whoOse
() measure is 0° is called a zero angle.
In the given iigure, ZAOA= 0°

A
(Zero angle)
(ii) Acute Angle An angle whose measure is more than 0o but less than 90° is called an
acute angle.

Inthe given figure, ZAOB is an acute angle.

A
(Acute angle)

(iii) Right Angle An angle whose measure is 90° is called a right angle.
In the given figure, ZLOM =90° =1 right angle.
A
right angle is one fourth (quarter) of a full turn.
M+

(Right angle)

Two lines that meet at right angles are called perpendicular lines.
(iv) Obtuse Angle An angle whose measure is more than 90° but less than 180° iscalled an
obtuse angle.
In the given figure, ZPOQ is an obtuse angle.

(Obtuse angle)
()Straight Angle An angle whose measure is 180° is called a straight angle.
In the given figure, ZXOY= 180° =a straight angle.

(Straight angle)
(M) Reflex Angle An angle whose measure is more than 180° but
A
less than 360° ts called a rflex angle.
In the given figure., ZAOB 0s a reflex angle.
(Reflex angle)
