Right Angle

            An angle whose measure is 90° is called right angle            .

            ÐABC and     ÐPQR are right angles.

            Obtuse Angle

            An angle whose measure is more than 90° but less than 180° is called an obtuse angle                      .

            ÐPQR and     ÐKLM are obtuse angles.

            Reflex Angle

            An angle whose measure is greater than 180° is called reflex angle                  . The maximum an

            angle can measure is 360°. It is measured from X to Z in anti-clock wise direction to get
            reflex angle ÐXYZ.

            Complete Angle

            An angle that exactly measures to 360° is known as complete angle                    . Here the ray OA’
            coincides OA after having a complete rotation. Hence  ÐAOA’ = 360°.
