Angles

• Definitions (To classify or identify)
• An angle is a figure formed by two rays or line
  segments that have the same endpoint
• Right angle The measurement of a right angle is
  exactly 90degrees
• Acute angle The measurement of an acute angle
  is between 0 and 90 degrees
• Obtuse angle The measurement of an obtuse angle
  is between 90 and 180 degrees
• Straight angle (A line?) The measurement of a
