Identifying Angles in Geometry

Study Notes

Understanding Angles

Angles can be classified into three types: acute, obtuse, and right.
An angle is acute if it measures less than 90°.
An angle is obtuse if it measures more than 90° but less than 180°.
A right angle measures exactly 90°.

Using a Protractor

A protractor is a tool used to measure angles in degrees.
Proper alignment of the protractor is crucial for accurate measurements.

Angle Classifications

64° - classified as acute (less than 90°).
30° - classified incorrectly in the provided table; should be acute.
89° - classified as acute (less than 90°).
174° - classified as obtuse (greater than 90°, less than 180°).
125° - classified as obtuse (greater than 90°, less than 180°).
95° - classified as obtuse (greater than 90°, less than 180°).
85° - classified as acute (less than 90°).
90° - classified as a right angle (exactly 90°).
75° - classified as acute (less than 90°).

Key Observations

Confusion can arise when distinguishing acute from obtuse angles based on similar ranges.
Consistent use of a protractor is essential for accurate angle classification.
