What is an angle?

An angle is formed when two rays meet at a common endpoint called the vertex.

The rays are called the arms. Angles are measured in degrees (°) using a protractor.

One full turn = 360°. A half turn = 180° (straight). A quarter turn = 90° (right).

Example
Clock at 3:00 — hands form a 90° angle. At 12:30 — form a small acute angle near 15°.
💡 Tip:Angle doesn't depend on length of arms — only how wide they open.
