Answer:

Skip to the bottom for image examples, read on for definitions.

  • Acute angles are angles less than 90 degrees.
  • Right angles are exactly 90 degrees.
  • Obtuse angles are 91 degrees or more.

For example, I sliced a pie, and it was an acute angle. Or I could have bought a taco and that taco has an obtuse angle, while if I just picked up a mini-square-cake, it is made of many right angles. And yes, I did draw those images myself as examples.

________________________________________________________

Look around you, there are angles everywhere! Your computer might even have a few acute and right angles in it.

What have we learned?

We learned the three main types of angles.

Hello, for those who wanted examples, you have reached the bottom. Please view the images for the examples of each angle type, definitions are not listed on purpose, I want you to guess them yourself as an easy review.
