What is an angle?

What is an angle?


An angle indicates the inclination of two lines meeting at a point.

This inclination is expressed in degrees (°). We use small Greek letters to designate an angle:

α: Alpha, β: Beta, γ: Gamma, δ: Delta, ε: Epsilon

Angle designations
Angle designations

Example: acute angle


Step 1:

Place the triangle with the zero point of the base line (centre) at the apex!

Step 2:

Read from the lower leg of the angle (at the base line) from zero in positive direction. Here in the example between 30° and 40° exactly at 35°.

Pointed angle 35 degrees
acute angle, here 35

Example: obtuse angle


Proceed in the same way as for the acute angle! When reading, however, pay attention to the correct direction and to the size of the value!

Here in the example exactly 140°.

Blunt angle 140 degrees
Obtuse angle, here 140

Example: Overshot angle


 

Check whether there is an obtuse angle.

In this case we always measure the opposite angle and calculate the angle we are looking for by calculating 360° minus the opposite angle.

Here:

Counter angle = 40°, angle sought = 360° - 40° = 320°!

Overshot angle 320 degrees
Overshot angle, here 320

The different types of angles

In order to be able to measure and draw angles correctly, it is very important to know the types of angles exactly!

Pointed angle

sharpening angle

\(0< \alpha < 90° \)

Right angle

righT wInk

\( \alpha = 90° \)

Blunt angle

blunt

\(90 < \alpha < 180° \)

Stretched angle

Stretched angle 180 degrees

\( \alpha = 180° \)

Overshot angle

Overshot angle

\(180 < \alpha < 360° \)

Full angle 360

Full angle full angle 360 degrees

\( \alpha = 360° \)
