Match the following:
Column A | Column B |
(i) Straight angle | (a) Less than one-fourth Of a revolution |
(ii) Right angle | (b) More than half a Revolution |
(iii) Acute angle | (c) Half of a revolution |
(iv) Obtuse angle | (d) One-fourth of a Revolution |
(v) Reflex angle | (e) Between and of a Revolution |
(f) One complete Revolution |
Column A | Column B |
(i) Straight angle | (c) Half of a revolution |
(ii) Right angle | (d) One-fourth of a revolution |
(iii) Acute angle | (a) Less than one-fourth of a revolution |
(iv) Obtuse angle | (e) Between and of a revolution |
(v) Reflex angle | (b) More than half a revolution |
(i) Straight angle – It is formed when legs are pointing in opposite direction and they form a straight line through the vertex of the angle. Thus measure of a straight line is always 180°.
Let’s discuss revolution a revolution is a complete turn or a full rotation so it points back the same way and form an angle of 360°. And a straight angle is the half of the revolution that is 180°.
(ii) Right angle is of 90° and 90° is the of the 360°
(iii) Acute angle is less than 90° so it will be less than one-fourth of a revolution as 90° is the one-fourth.
(iv) Obtuse angle is the angle greater than 90° but less than 180° so it will be in between one-fourth and half of the revolution.
(v) Reflex angle whose measure is greater than 180° but less than 360° so it is more than half a revolution.
