An angle that equals 90 degrees

• acute angle

• obtuse angle

• right angle

• straight angle

Answer explanation

A right angle is defined as an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. In contrast, acute angles are less than 90 degrees, obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and straight angles measure 180 degrees.

An angle that measures 180 degrees

• acute angle

• obtuse angle

• right angle

• straight angle

Answer explanation

A straight angle measures exactly 180 degrees, forming a straight line. In contrast, acute angles are less than 90 degrees, obtuse angles are between 90 and 180 degrees, and right angles measure exactly 90 degrees.
