Introduction to Angles
• Angles are a fundamental concept in
mathematics that describe the amount of turn
between two intersecting lines. They are used
in a wide variety of fields, from engineering
and architecture to physics and astronomy.
Understanding angles is essential for solving
problems involving shapes and movement.
• In this presentation, we will explore the
different types of angles and their properties.
By the end, you will have a solid
understanding of angles and be able to apply
them in practical situations.
Acute Angles
• An acute angle is an angle that measures
less than 90 degrees. It is like a narrow V
shape. Some examples of acute angles
include the angle formed by the hands of a
clock at 2 o'clock, or the angle between the
floor and a ladder propped against a wall.
• Acute angles are important in many fields,
such as geometry, trigonometry, and
physics. They are used to calculate
distances, heights, and angles of elevation
and depression.
Right Angles
• A right angle is an angle that measures
exactly 90 degrees. It is like the corner of a
square or rectangle. Some examples of
objects or shapes that have right angles
include book covers, windows, and door
frames.
• Right angles are important in many fields,
such as architecture and carpentry. They are
used to ensure that structures are straight
and stable, and that measurements are
accurate.
Obtuse Angles
• An obtuse angle is an angle that measures
more than 90 degrees but less than 180
degrees. It is like a wide V shape. Some
real-world examples of obtuse angles
include the angle formed by the hands of a
clock at 10 o'clock, or the angle between a
tree branch and its trunk.
• Obtuse angles are also important in many
fields, such as construction and
engineering. They are used to calculate
angles of intersection, slope, and grade.
Straight Angles
• A straight angle is an angle that measures
exactly 180 degrees. It is like a straight line.
Some examples of situations where straight
angles might be encountered include the
intersection of two roads, or the corner of a
room.
• Straight angles are important in many fields,
such as surveying and navigation. They are
used to calculate distances and directions,
and to create accurate maps.
Reflex Angles
• A reflex angle is always greater than a
straight angle which is a half-circle (180°),
and less than a complete angle which is a
full circle (360°). A reflex angle and the
corresponding angle that lies on the other
side of it together form a complete angle
of 360°.
• It should be noted that a reflex angle
always has an acute angle, an obtuse
angle, or a right angle on the other side of
it.
Types of Angles Recap
• In this presentation, we have explored the
different types of angles and their
properties. We have learned about acute
angles, which measure less than 90 degrees,
obtuse angles, which measure more than 90
degrees but less than 180 degrees, reflex
angles which measure more than 180
degrees but less than 360 degrees, right
angles, which measure exactly 90 degrees,
and straight angles, which measure exactly
180 degrees.
• Remembering these different types of angles
can be made easier by using visual aids, such
as diagrams or drawings. With a solid
understanding of angles, you will be able to
apply them in various fields and solve
problems with ease.
