Basic Angles Tutorial

An angle is formed by two lines meeting at a point called the vertex, with arms being the lines themselves. There are several types of angles, including acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex, each defined by their degree measurements. Important facts include that angles on a straight line add up to 180°, around a point add up to 360°, and in a triangle add up to 180°.

Basic Angles Tutorial

1. What is an Angle?

An angle is formed when two lines meet at a point. The meeting point is called the vertex.

2. Parts of an Angle

Vertex: the point where lines meet.


Arms: the two lines forming the angle.

3. Types of Angles

Acute Angle: less than 90°.


Right Angle: exactly 90°.
Obtuse Angle: between 90° and 180°.
Straight Angle: exactly 180°.
Reflex Angle: between 180° and 360°.

4. Important Angle Facts

Angles on a straight line add up to 180°.


Angles around a point add up to 360°.
Angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

5. Special Angle Pairs

Complementary Angles: add up to 90°.


Supplementary Angles: add up to 180°.

6. Measuring Angles

Angles are measured using a protractor in degrees (°).

7. Example Problems

1) Straight line: 180° - 50° = 130°.


2) Complementary: 90° - 40° = 50°.
3) 135° is an obtuse angle.
8. Quick Summary

Acute < 90°


Right = 90°
Obtuse = 90°–180°
Straight = 180°
Full turn = 360°
