What is the measure of a right angle?
An angle is formed when two straight lines meet. Angles are measured in degrees. Angles can be acute, right, or obtuse.
What are Angles?
Angle: an angle is formed when two lines meet at a point. Right Angle: a right angle has an angle measure of 90 degrees. Acute Angle: an acute angle has an angle measure of less than 90 degrees.
Concepts:
Angles are also used to describe the shape of a polygon; a polygon with all angles equal is called a regular polygon. The word angle comes from the Latin word 'angulus' which means 'corner'. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Question: You and your partner need to figure out how many degrees are in a triangle. How can you do this? Clues: • Remember that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. • Look for clues in the triangle's shape. Is it isosceles, equilateral, or scalene? • Try drawing the triangle on paper and labeling each angle. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Create a drawing of the triangle with the angles labeled. B. Create a story problem to explain how you found the angles in the triangle.
