Step-by-step solution for: Angles
The image you provided illustrates four types of angles: acute angle, right angle, reflex angle, and obtuse angle. Below, I will explain each type of angle and provide a clear definition for each.
---
- Definition: An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- The angle is smaller than a right angle.
- It is typically represented by a sharp, narrow opening between two lines.
- Example in the Image: The top-left diagram shows an acute angle labeled as \( \varphi \).
---
- Definition: A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- It forms a perfect "L" shape.
- The two lines forming the angle are perpendicular to each other.
- Example in the Image: The top-right diagram shows a right angle labeled as \( \varphi \). The square symbol at the vertex indicates that it is a right angle.
---
- Definition: A reflex angle is an angle that measures more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- It is larger than a straight angle (180 degrees) but smaller than a full rotation (360 degrees).
- It appears as a wide opening that extends beyond a straight line.
- Example in the Image: The bottom-left diagram shows a reflex angle labeled as \( \varphi \). The circular arc around the angle indicates that it is greater than 180 degrees.
---
- Definition: An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- It is larger than a right angle but smaller than a straight angle.
- It appears as a wide opening that is not as wide as a reflex angle.
- Example in the Image: The bottom-right diagram shows an obtuse angle labeled as \( \varphi \).

| Type of Angle | Definition | Measure |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------|
| Acute Angle | Less than 90 degrees | \( 0^\circ < \varphi < 90^\circ \) |
| Right Angle | Exactly 90 degrees | \( \varphi = 90^\circ \) |
| Obtuse Angle | More than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees | \( 90^\circ < \varphi < 180^\circ \) |
| Reflex Angle | More than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees | \( 180^\circ < \varphi < 360^\circ \) |
---
\[
\boxed{\text{Acute: } 0^\circ < \varphi < 90^\circ, \text{ Right: } \varphi = 90^\circ, \text{ Obtuse: } 90^\circ < \varphi < 180^\circ, \text{ Reflex: } 180^\circ < \varphi < 360^\circ}
\]

1. Acute Angle
- Definition: An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- The angle is smaller than a right angle.
- It is typically represented by a sharp, narrow opening between two lines.
- Example in the Image: The top-left diagram shows an acute angle labeled as \( \varphi \).
---
2. Right Angle
- Definition: A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- It forms a perfect "L" shape.
- The two lines forming the angle are perpendicular to each other.
- Example in the Image: The top-right diagram shows a right angle labeled as \( \varphi \). The square symbol at the vertex indicates that it is a right angle.
---
3. Reflex Angle
- Definition: A reflex angle is an angle that measures more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- It is larger than a straight angle (180 degrees) but smaller than a full rotation (360 degrees).
- It appears as a wide opening that extends beyond a straight line.
- Example in the Image: The bottom-left diagram shows a reflex angle labeled as \( \varphi \). The circular arc around the angle indicates that it is greater than 180 degrees.
---
4. Obtuse Angle
- Definition: An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Characteristics:
- It is larger than a right angle but smaller than a straight angle.
- It appears as a wide opening that is not as wide as a reflex angle.
- Example in the Image: The bottom-right diagram shows an obtuse angle labeled as \( \varphi \).

Summary of Angle Types
| Type of Angle | Definition | Measure |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------|
| Acute Angle | Less than 90 degrees | \( 0^\circ < \varphi < 90^\circ \) |
| Right Angle | Exactly 90 degrees | \( \varphi = 90^\circ \) |
| Obtuse Angle | More than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees | \( 90^\circ < \varphi < 180^\circ \) |
| Reflex Angle | More than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees | \( 180^\circ < \varphi < 360^\circ \) |

Final Answer
\[
\boxed{\text{Acute: } 0^\circ < \varphi < 90^\circ, \text{ Right: } \varphi = 90^\circ, \text{ Obtuse: } 90^\circ < \varphi < 180^\circ, \text{ Reflex: } 180^\circ < \varphi < 360^\circ}
\]
