How do you list angles from smallest to largest?

Acute angles are greater than 0 but less than 90 degrees Right angles are 90 degrees Obtuse angles are greater than 90 but less than 180 degrees Reflex angles are greater than 180 but less than 360 degrees A full turn is 360 degrees


Can a triangle equal less than 180 degrees?

No because the three interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180 degrees.


What is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees called?

An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees is called an "obtuse" angle. Note Angles less than 90 degrees are called "acute" angles. An angle that is exactly 90 degrees is called a "right" angle. Angles that are more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees are call "obtuse" angles. An angle that is exactly 180 degrees is called a "straight line". Angles that are more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees are called "reflex" angles.


Do supplementary angles always 90 degrees?

No. COMPLIMENTARY angles always add up to 90 degrees. SUPPLEMENTARY angles always add up to 180 degrees. you don't really have to know this stuff in later math, but for whatever course you're in right now it would be a vital error to mix them up. but if you are asking if every angle that is supplementary to another is 90 degrees by itself, the answer is still no. a supplementary can be any angle that is less than 180 degrees.


Find the measure of the complement of 25 degrees?

The complement to 25 degrees would be 65 because 25 + 65 = 90. Complementary angles are always equal to 90 degrees, no more, no less.

What are the different kinds of angles according to their measurement?

There are four different kinds of angles and they are:- Acute angles are greater than 0 but less than 90 degrees Right angles are 90 degrees Obtuse angles are greater than 90 but less than 180 degrees Reflex angles are greater than 180 degrees


Are exterior angles always 360?

No, they are always less than 360 degrees.


Is it possible to have quadrilateral whose sum of angle measurement is less than 360 degrees?

No because the 4 interior angles of any 4 sided quadrilateral always add up to 360 degrees.


Does an acute triangle have three angles less than 90 degrees?

Yes. An acute triangle has three angles that individually are less than 90 degrees. Remember you can add the internal angles together in a triangle and they will always add up to 180 degrees.


Why does acute angles always less?

An acute angle is greater than 0 but less than 90 degrees


Does an acute triangle have three angles that add up to less than 90 degrees?

No. In every possible triangle, the three angles always add up to 180 degrees.


Are convex angles less than 90 degrees?

A convex angle is any angle of 180 degrees or less. So all angles less than 90 degrees are certainly convex angles, but so are the angles between 90 and 180 degrees.


What is a acutes angles?

An acute angle is greater than 0 but less than 90 degrees


Measures less than 90 degrees?

Angles that measure less than 90 degrees are called acute angles. Right angles measure exactly 90 degrees and obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees.


What are angles that measure more then 90 degrees called?

Angles greater than 90 but less than 180 degrees are obtuse angles Angles greater than 180 but less than 360 degrees are reflex angles


Are to acute angles supplementary?

no because supplementary means when 2 angles equal 180 degrees. but an acute angle is always less than 90 degrees, so two acute angles cannot add up to equal 180 degrees/be supplementary.


How are acute angle and obtuse angle different?

Acute angles are angles that are less than 90 degrees. Obtuse angles are angles that are more then 90 degrees and less then 180 degrees Any angle that is 90 degrees is a right angle. == == == ==
