Angles - Acute, Obtuse, Straight, and Right

Angles are measured in degrees. These measures are used to classify angles as acute, obtuse, straight, or right.

Angles - Complementary and Supplementary

Understanding complementary and supplementary angles will help you solve for an unknown angle measurement.

Angles - Naming

There are three ways to name an angle.

Angles - Parallel Lines Crossed by a Transversal

Although parallel lines never meet or cross, they can be intersected by one or more lines called transversals.

Angles - Right and Obtuse

Angles are measured in degrees. These measures are then used to classify angles as acute, obtuse, straight, or right.

Angles - Vertical and Congruent

Vertical angles lie diagonally opposite one another at an intersection. Vertical angles are equal in measure.
