Question

Can I get the list of the 'types of angles'

Tushar Kohli · Accepted Answer

Types of Angles Definition Figure Acute Angle An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees

Right Angle An angle whose measure is 90 degrees

Obtuse angle An angle whose measure is bigger than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees Thus, it is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees

Straight angle An angle whose measure is 180 degrees Thus, a straight angle looks like a straight line

Reflex angle An angle whose measure is bigger than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees

Adjacent angle Angle with a common vertex and one common side

are adjacent angles

Complementary angle Two angles whose measures add to 90 degrees Angle a and angle b are complementary angles because together they form a right angle

Supplementary angle Two angles whose measures add to 180 degrees

Vertical angle Angles that have a common vertex and whose sides are formed by the same lines

Alternate interior angle Pairs of interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal For instance, angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles Angle 4 and angle 6 are also alternate interior angles

Alternate exterior angle Pairs of exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal Angle 2 and angle 8 are alternate exterior angles

Corresponding angle Pairs of angles that are in similar positions Angle 6 and angle 2 are corresponding angles Angle 5 and angle 1 are corresponding angles

Types of Angles	Definition	Figure
Acute Angle	An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees.
Right Angle	An angle whose measure is 90 degrees.
Obtuse angle	An angle whose measure is bigger than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Thus, it is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees.
Straight angle	An angle whose measure is 180 degrees. Thus, a straight angle looks like a straight line.
Reflex angle	An angle whose measure is bigger than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
Adjacent angle	Angle with a common vertex and one common side. are adjacent angles.
Complementary angle	Two angles whose measures add to 90 degrees. Angle a and angle b are complementary angles because together they form a right angle.
Supplementary angle	Two angles whose measures add to 180 degrees.
Vertical angle	Angles that have a common vertex and whose sides are formed by the same lines.
Alternate interior angle	Pairs of interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal. For instance, angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles. Angle 4 and angle 6 are also alternate interior angles.
Alternate exterior angle	Pairs of exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal. Angle 2 and angle 8 are alternate exterior angles.
Corresponding angle	Pairs of angles that are in similar positions. Angle 6 and angle 2 are corresponding angles. Angle 5 and angle 1 are corresponding angles
