Exploring Types of Angles: Acute, Right, and Obtuse

This video tutorial introduces students to the concept of angles, explaining how they are formed and measured. It covers the use of a protractor to measure angles in degrees and describes different types of angles: acute, right, and obtuse. The tutorial includes examples and activities to help students identify these angles in various contexts, such as clock hands and geometric figures.

What is an angle formed by?

• Two lines intersecting at a non-common endpoint

• Two rays sharing a common endpoint

• A circle divided into equal parts
