Angles are measurements of the angles formed between two rays of light. They are typically measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Right angles have a measure of 90 degrees. This is the largest angle in a triangle, and all right angles are congruent to each other.
Straight angles have a measure of 180 degrees. They are the angles formed between two lines that intersect at a single point.
Examples:
An angle that measures 45 degrees is called a right angle.
An angle that measures 120 degrees is called a straight angle.
An angle that measures 30 degrees is called an acute angle
