Why is a right angle called a right angle and not a left angle?
The term of Latin in right angle is angulus rectus; here rectus means "upright", referring to the vertical perpendicular to a horizontal base line."Right" has other meanings, apart from the opposite of "left". I suspect that the ethymology here is more like a "correct" angle.
Is a right angle bigger than a blunt angle?
I have never come across the term "blunt" angle. The rays of an angle always meet at a point and there is no rounding of these rays so the only interpretation that I can put on a blunt angle is that it is an obtuse angle. IF that is the case, (and sorry if I have misunderstood), then a right angle is smaller.
What term describes two adjacent angles that form a right angle?
