What’s on the Right, Acute, Obtuse poster
A 4-row table: Angle · Size · How to spot it.
Compare every angle to a square corner. That corner is 90 degrees.
- Acute — less than 90° — sharper than a book corner
- Right — exactly 90° — fits a book corner exactly
- Obtuse — between 90° and 180° — wider than a book corner
- Straight — exactly 180° — a flat line
A right angle gets a little square drawn in it, never an arc. That is the convention.
