Acute angle:

The ability to identify the different types of angles greatly helps in finding out measurements of different figures in geometry featuring with different types of angles and line segments. An acute angle is defined as an angle that is smaller than the right angle. The acute angles range from 0 to 90 degrees. In case if a larger angle is chosen we will have a reflex angle and the smaller angle is known as the acute angle. In the figure as shown below, the thin blue line indicates the position of a right angle whereas the angle in black which is much smaller than the right angle is known as the acute angle. It can be anything that is smaller than 90 degree even if it measures 89.99999 degrees.

Example of acute angle

An acute angle

There are several real world examples that can be stated under acute angle such as a slice of  a pizza. The angle making at the tip of the slice is smaller than 90 degree making it an acute angle.  Another example such as the tongs that are used in kitchen the tongs remains open at an acute angle. Another example of acute angle can be stated as that of the space between the minute and hour hand of a clock when the time is less than 3 ‘o’clock. Like for example, when the time is 2 ‘o’ clock, the minute hand and the hour hands makes an acute angle that is the angle between them is lss than 90 degree.  In geometry, acute angles are considered to those measurements where the angles are less than 90 degree or having a radian that is less than 90 degree. When the term acute angle is related to a triangle then it is known as an acute angle triangle where all the angles of the triangle are less than 90 degree. Once discovering the different types of angles that exist, it becomes easier to determine the acute angles. There exists a number of tried formulas along with equations in order to solve the missing measurements between the angles and the line segments in geometrical figures.

Elements of Acute angle:

The space between the two rays of an angle that meets at the vertex is known as an angle. Rays have only one endpoint that goes infinitely in the opposite direction .In angle, the end points of the both the rays meet at a point to form the vertex. The space between the two rays when tends to lesser than 90 degree, an acute angle is formed.

Some example of acute angle are as follows:

An acute angle can have an angle measuring 80 degree, 55 degree and 45 degree. All of the acute angles have a complement and a collective angle measuring to 90 degree. For example if an acute angle measures to about 63 degree, then its complementary angle will measure to about 27 degree.
