Question

Which angle in the figure is a right angle? A. ECF B. C C. DCE D. DCF

Answer 1

D. DCF

Explanation:

A right angle or 90 degree angle angle is denoted by a small square where two line segments or rays meet to create an angle.

Angle ECF is inside of the right angle, but it only makes up part of it.

Angle C is not an angle.

Angle DCE is also inside of the right angle, but only makes up part of it.

Angle DCF is the angle with a small square inside of it. Therefore, it must be the right angle.

D. DCF is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The angle DCF is the right angle (D.).

Explanation:

Usually, the right angles are marked with a small square, so if you see that, it means that is a 90º angle, no questions asked. :]

Answer A. says ECF, but that is only one of the two angles that add up to make the 90º angle.

Answer B. is not an angle at all. They should come with a slanted L and 3 letters to indicate an angle.

Answer C. says DCE, but that is just the other angle that adds up to make the 90º angle.

So that means Answer D. is the correct answer!
