Unit focus

  • Compare the indicated opening or turn with a right angle. Acute is smaller than a right angle; obtuse is larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle.
  • A straight angle is two right angles. A reflex angle is greater than a straight angle and less than a full revolution. One revolution is four right angles.
  • Arm length and page orientation do not change angle size. Align a checked right-angle template at the vertex and along one arm; follow the marked arc to identify the intended angle.
