Determine the type of angle
highlighted in orange. Is it a right angle, an obtuse
angle, or an acute angle?
In this question, we have to
identify the type of angle which is highlighted in orange. Is this angle a right angle? We could use a right-angle measure
to check. We simply need to place the corner
of our right-angle measure into the corner or vertex of the angle. Now, we can see the orange angle
measures more than a right angle. What do we call an angle which is
greater than a right angle? Can you remember what an obtuse
angle is? This is an obtuse angle. It measures more than a right
angle.
The angle highlighted in orange
measures more than 90 degrees, so it’s an obtuse angle. Acute angles measure less than a
right angle. The type of angle highlighted in
orange is an obtuse angle.
