In geometry, angles can be classified according to the size of the angle. The types of angles are right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles and straight angles.

Right Angles

A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. Two lines or line segments that meet at a right angle are said to be perpendicular.

The following video explains more about right angles.

Acute Angles

An acute angle is an angle measuring between 0 and 90 degrees.

Obtuse Angles

An obtuse angle is an angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees.

Straight Angles
