Questions Related to identifying angles

Say True or False.
The measure of an obtuse angle $< 90^o$.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False
The measure of an obtuse angle is greater than $90^o$ but less than $180^o$.

An angle whose measure is the sum of the measures of two right angles is _______.

  1. Acute

  2. Obtuse

  3. Right

  4. Straight


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Measure of a right angle is $90^ \circ$

Measure of a straight angle is $180^ \circ$
Sum of the measure of two right angles is $(90+90)^ \circ=180^ \circ$
Thus an angle whose measure is the sum of two right angles is $Straight$

An angle whose measure is greater than that of a right angle is ______.

  1. Acute

  2. Obtuse

  3. Right

  4. Straight


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$Obtuse \ angle$ has measure more than that of $right \ angle \ but \ less \ than \ 180\ degree$

Hence correct answer is $B) \ Obtuse$

An angle whose measure is less than that of a right angle is ______.

  1. Acute

  2. Obtuse

  3. Right

  4. Straight


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Acute \ angle$ has measure less than $right \ angle$

Hence correct answer is $A) \ Acute$

$\displaystyle 89^{\circ}$ is an example of :

  1. obtuse

  2. acute

  3. right

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Angles between $ {0}^{o} $ and $ {90}^{o} $ are acute angles. Hence, $ {89}^{o} $ is an acute angle.

Based on the angle measures given, which triangle is not acute?

  1. $35^\circ,\, 69^\circ,\, 76^\circ$

  2. $60^\circ,\, 60^\circ,\, 60^\circ$

  3. $88^\circ,\, 46^\circ,\, 46^\circ$

  4. $90^\circ,\, 45^\circ,\, 45^\circ$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

For acute angles triangle all the three angles must be less than ${ 90 }^{ \circ  }$.

In option $D$ one of the angle is ${ 90 }^{ \circ  }$ , so it is not acute angles triangle.

An angle which measures more than $0^{\circ}$ and less than $90^{\circ}$ is called.

  1. Obtuse

  2. Acute

  3. Right

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Angles which measure $ {0}^{o} $ and less than $ {90}^{o} $ are acute angles.



$179^{\circ}$ is an example of

  1. obtuse

  2. acute

  3. right

  4. none


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Angles between $ {90}^{o} $ and $ {180}^{o} $ are obtuse angles.

Hence, $ {179}^{o} $ is an obtuse angle.

An angle which measures $180^{\circ}$ is called_______angle.

  1. zero

  2. right

  3. straight

  4. acute


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An angle which measures $ {180}^{o} $ is called a straight angle.

An angle which measures $180^o$ is called a

  1. straight angle

  2. obtuse angle

  3. right angle

  4. complete angle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An angle which measures $180^o$ is called a straight angle
