Let's solve the
"Classifying Angles" worksheet step by step.
---
🔍 Understanding Angle Types:
Before we classify each angle, let’s review the definitions:
-
Acute angle: Less than 90°
-
Right angle: Exactly 90° (looks like a square corner)
-
Obtuse angle: Greater than 90° but less than 180°
We’ll use these definitions to identify each angle in the grid.

📐 Now, let’s go through each angle one by one:
#### Row 1:
1.
First angle (top-left): The two lines form a sharp "V" shape — clearly
less than 90° →
✔ Acute
2.
Second: Looks like a perfect L-shape →
✔ Right
3.
Third: Wide open, more than 90° →
✔ Obtuse
4.
Fourth: Very narrow "V" →
✔ Acute
#### Row 2:
5.
Fifth: Sharp "V", less than 90° →
✔ Acute
6.
Sixth: Looks like a right angle (L-shaped) →
✔ Right
7.
Seventh: Open wide, greater than 90° →
✔ Obtuse
8.
Eighth: Narrow V →
✔ Acute
#### Row 3:
9.
Ninth: Open angle, wider than 90° →
✔ Obtuse
10.
Tenth: Looks like a bent line forming a wide angle →
✔ Obtuse
11.
Eleventh: Narrow V →
✔ Acute
12.
Twelfth: Perfect L-shape →
✔ Right
#### Row 4:
13.
Thirteenth: Sharp "V" →
✔ Acute
14.
Fourteenth: Looks like a right angle →
✔ Right
15.
Fifteenth: Wide open →
✔ Obtuse
16.
Sixteenth: Very narrow →
✔ Acute

📝 Instructions for Student:
For each box, circle the correct name:
👉 Circle
"Acute",
"Right", or
"Obtuse" based on the angle shown.

💡 Tips:
- Use your knowledge of common shapes: a corner of a rectangle is a
right angle.
- If the angle looks smaller than that →
acute
- If it looks larger →
obtuse

✔ Answer Key Summary (for grading):
```
Row 1: Acute, Right, Obtuse, Acute
Row 2: Acute, Right, Obtuse, Acute
Row 3: Obtuse, Obtuse, Acute, Right
Row 4: Acute, Right, Obtuse, Acute
```
