Simple Angles Review

Acute and Obtuse Angles
Use the animation below to explore and review the differences between acute and obtuse angles. Use the checkboxes to make the examples visible or invisible. Use the sliders to adjust and change the angles.
Reflex Angles
Use the animation below to explore reflex angles.
Right and Straight angles
Straight angles are the angles formed by three points on a straight line. The angle is equal to 180[math]^\circ[/math]. Right angles have a value of 90[math]^\circ[/math] and they resemble a corner.
Revolution Angles
A revolution is a 360[math]^\circ[/math] angle - one complete revolution or full circle.
Summary of Angles

Corresponding Angles

When two parallel lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. When the two lines being crossed are parallel, the corresponding angles formed by the transversal are equal. Use the animations below to explore, visualize and verify corresponding angles.
Summary
[size=150]If the two lines are not parallel, then the corresponding angles formed by the transversal are not equal. When the two lines are parallel (the 'arrow' markings tell you this), the transversal forms corresponding angles that are equal.[/size]

Quadrilateral Review

Quadrilaterals - More Detail
[size=150]There are two main ways to determine if a polygon is convex or non-convex. Either by observing the interior angles or the diagonals. [/size]
