Step-by-step solution for: 4th Grade Geometry
Let's solve the Angle Classification 3 worksheet step by step.
We are asked to classify each angle in the given shapes using these labels:
- □ = right angle (exactly 90°)
- a = acute angle (less than 90°)
- o = obtuse angle (greater than 90° but less than 180°)
- x = reflex angle (greater than 180° but less than 360°)
We'll go through each shape one by one and label all its angles accordingly.

This is a right triangle — it has:
- One right angle (□) at the bottom-left corner.
- Two acute angles (a) at the other two corners.
✔ Labels:
- Bottom-left: □
- Top: a
- Bottom-right: a
---
This is a trapezoid with one pair of parallel sides. Let's analyze the four angles:
- The two angles on the left side are acute (a), because they are less than 90°.
- The two angles on the right side are obtuse (o), because they are greater than 90°.
✔ Labels:
- Top-left: a
- Bottom-left: a
- Top-right: o
- Bottom-right: o
---
This is a five-sided polygon. Let’s examine each angle:
- Bottom-left: appears to be a right angle (□)
- Top-left: acute (a)
- Top: obtuse (o)
- Right-top: acute (a)
- Bottom-right: obtuse (o)
Wait — let’s double-check the visual:
- The left side is vertical, bottom edge horizontal → so bottom-left is likely right angle (□).
- The top-left angle is narrow → acute (a)
- The top angle is wide → obtuse (o)
- The right-side angle is sharp → acute (a)
- The bottom-right angle is wide → obtuse (o)
✔ Labels:
- Bottom-left: □
- Top-left: a
- Top: o
- Right-top: a
- Bottom-right: o
---
This shape looks like a rectangle with a triangular "bite" taken out from the top-right.
Angles:
- Bottom-left: right angle (□)
- Bottom-right: right angle (□)
- Top-left: right angle (□)
- Top-right: reflex? Wait — this is a concave angle (indented). The interior angle here is greater than 180°, so it's a reflex angle (x)
- The pointy tip (top-center): acute (a)
But wait — there are five vertices:
1. Bottom-left: □
2. Bottom-right: □
3. Top-right: x (reflex)
4. Top-center: a (acute)
5. Top-left: □?
Wait — actually, the shape has:
- Bottom-left: □
- Bottom-right: □
- Then a sharp inward bend at the top-right → that creates a reflex angle (x)
- The tip of the point: acute (a)
- And the top-left corner: seems like a right angle (□)
So the five angles:
- Bottom-left: □
- Bottom-right: □
- Top-left: □
- Top-center (the tip): a
- Top-right (the concave corner): x
✔ Labels:
- Bottom-left: □
- Bottom-right: □
- Top-left: □
- Top-center: a
- Top-right: x

This is a pentagon shaped like an arrow pointing right.
Vertices:
1. Left-pointing tip: very sharp → acute (a)
2. Top-left: looks like obtuse (o)
3. Top-right: looks like acute (a)
4. Bottom-right: obtuse (o)
5. Bottom-left: acute (a)? Wait — let's trace.
Actually, the shape has:
- A long base with a V-shaped notch in the middle.
Let’s count the angles:
- Left tip: acute (a)
- Top-left: obtuse (o)
- Top-right: acute (a)
- Bottom-right: obtuse (o)
- Bottom-left: acute (a)
Wait — no. Actually, this shape has five vertices:
- Left tip: a
- Top-left: o
- Top-right: a
- Bottom-right: o
- Bottom-left: a
But check the middle indentation — it's a pointed inward angle → this is reflex?
Wait — no, because the interior angle at the inward point is less than 180°, but greater than 90°? No — look closely.
The shape is like a triangle with a notch cut out from the middle of the base.
Actually, it's better to think of it as:
- Left tip: acute (a)
- Top-left: obtuse (o)
- Top-right: obtuse (o)
- Bottom-right: acute (a)
- Bottom-left: acute (a)
Wait — no. Let’s re-analyze carefully.
This shape has:
- A long base
- A pointed tip on the left
- A notch in the center of the base, forming a V shape
So the five angles:
1. Left tip: acute (a)
2. Top-left: obtuse (o)
3. Top-right: obtuse (o)
4. Right-bottom: acute (a)
5. Left-bottom: acute (a)
But the notch is inward, so the interior angle at the center of the base is reflex? No — if it's a V-shaped notch, then the interior angle is less than 180°, but greater than 90°? Not necessarily.
Wait — actually, the notch forms a convex or concave vertex?
Looking at the image: the shape has a dent in the base — so the interior angle at the dent is greater than 180° → reflex (x)
So the five vertices:
1. Left tip: a
2. Top-left: o
3. Top-right: o
4. Right-bottom: a
5. Dent (middle): x
And the two bottom corners are not separate — the dent is one vertex.
Wait — actually, this shape has five vertices:
- Left tip
- Top-left
- Top-right
- Right-bottom
- Dent (middle of base)
So yes:
- Left tip: a
- Top-left: o
- Top-right: o
- Right-bottom: a
- Middle dent: x (reflex)
✔ Labels:
- Left tip: a
- Top-left: o
- Top-right: o
- Right-bottom: a
- Middle (dent): x

This is a parallelogram — opposite sides equal and parallel.
In a parallelogram:
- Opposite angles are equal
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (add to 180°)
From the image:
- Angles at the top and bottom are acute (a)
- Angles at the left and right are obtuse (o)
Because it's tilted, so:
- Top-left: a
- Top-right: o
- Bottom-right: a
- Bottom-left: o
✔ Labels:
- Top-left: a
- Top-right: o
- Bottom-right: a
- Bottom-left: o
---
This is a trapezoid with two parallel sides (top and bottom), and non-parallel sides equal.
Angles:
- Top-left: acute (a)
- Top-right: acute (a)
- Bottom-left: obtuse (o)
- Bottom-right: obtuse (o)
Because in a trapezoid, the angles on the same side are supplementary.
✔ Labels:
- Top-left: a
- Top-right: a
- Bottom-left: o
- Bottom-right: o
---
This is a quadrilateral with a notch on the left side — like a flag with a V-cut.
Vertices:
1. Top-left: acute (a)
2. Top-right: acute (a)
3. Bottom-right: acute (a)
4. Bottom-left: acute (a)
5. Notch point (center-left): reflex (x)
Wait — how many vertices?
It has:
- Top-left
- Top-right
- Bottom-right
- Bottom-left
- And the notch in the middle of the left side → so five vertices
Now, angles:
- The notch is inward, so the interior angle at the notch is greater than 180° → reflex (x)
- All other angles are acute (a), since they are sharp
So:
- Top-left: a
- Top-right: a
- Bottom-right: a
- Bottom-left: a
- Notch (center-left): x
✔ Labels:
- Top-left: a
- Top-right: a
- Bottom-right: a
- Bottom-left: a
- Notch: x

## ✔ Final Answer Summary
Here is the classification for each shape:
- □, a, a
- a, a, o, o
- □, a, o, a, o
- □, □, □, a, x
- a, o, o, a, x
- a, o, a, o

You would write the labels inside each angle of the shape, using the symbols:
- □ for right
- a for acute
- o for obtuse
- x for reflex
For example, in the first triangle:
- Put □ in the bottom-left corner
- Put a in the top and bottom-right corners
And so on for all shapes.
