Learn about different types of angles such as right, acute, obtuse, and straight, and understand angle vocabulary like vertical angles and adjacent angles. Practice naming and classifying angles with helpful examples.

Vocabulary • The vertex is the point where the two rays meet. • Right angle: an angle that measures 90° • Acute angle: an angle that measures less than 90° • Obtuse angle: an angle that measures greater than 90° • Straight angle: an angle that measures exactly 180°
Vocabulary • Vertical angles: two angles are vertical if they are opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. Vertical angles are congruent or have the same measure. • Adjacent angles: two angles are adjacent if they share a common vertex, a common side, and do not overlap.
Example 1: *You can name an angle by its vertex and by its points. Name the angle and then classify it as acute, right, obtuse or straight.
Practice: Name each angle in four ways. Then classify each angle as acute, right, obtuse, or straight.
