Acute angle. Definition: An angle whose measure is less than 90° Try this Adjust the angle below by dragging an orange dot and see how the angle ∠ABC behaves. Note that it is acute for all angles from zero to (but not including) 90°
Rays have one endpoint and then go off infinitely in the opposite direction. In an angle, the endpoints of both rays meet to form the vertex. Acute angles are angles where the space between those two rays is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.
Acute angles are the smallest, being between (but not including) zero and 90° Note also that acute triangles are those where all the interior angles are acute.
Any measure less than 90° is an acute angle.
Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees. Right angles measure 90 degrees. Obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees.
right angle-an 90 degree angle. obtuse angle-an angle between 90 and 180 degrees. straight angle-a 180 degree angle.
Acute, right, & obtuse angles. Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees. Right angles measure 90 degrees. Obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees.
Angles are used in daily life. Engineers and architects use angles for designs, roads, buildings and sporting facilities. Athletes use angles to enhance their performance. Carpenters use angles to make chairs, tables and sofas.
A square or rectangle has four corners with right angles. Examples of right angles are all around us. We can see right angles in the corners of a room, book, cube, windows and at several other places. A vertical and a horizontal line make most common right angles.
There are four main types of angles: right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles, and straight angles. Right angles are like corners and measure 90°. Acute angles are smaller than 90°. Obtuse angles are larger than 90°, but less than 180°.
Other objects that depict obtuse angles are a book (when opened to certain angles), a pair of scissors, and a door opened wide.

An angle that measures anything between 0 degrees and 90 degrees is called an acute angle. So angles that measure less than 90 degrees, (for example they could be 89.9degrees, 15 degrees, 0.15 degrees, 30 degrees) are all acute angles.
