What is a right angle?
A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90°. It is displayed by using a square to label it.

What is an acute angle?
An angle that measure 89° or less. Think of it as “a cute” angle because it is so tiny.

What is an obtuse angle?
An angle that measures 91° to 180°. Think of an obtuse angle as “obese” because it’s measurement is so large.

What is a straight angle?
A straight line that measures EXACTLY 180°.

What is a reflex angle?
An angle whose measure is greater than 180° and less than 360°.
![Page 19: Geometry Vocabulary: Lines and Angles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b343df4a79590a598b4577/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is a full angle?
An angle whose measure is exactly 360°. A full circle.

What is a vertex?
The common endpoint of two or more rays or line segments.
![Page 21: Geometry Vocabulary: Lines and Angles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b343df4a79590a598b4577/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What are vertices?
Vertices are more than one vertex.

Complimentary Angles
Angles with a sum of 90°.

Supplementary Angles
Angles with a sum of 180°

Complementary/Supplementary Trick
C comes before S in the alphabet 90 comes before 180 on a number line
Complementary = 90° Supplementary = 180°
