A right angle is a 90 degree angle.

It can also be known as a square angle. The two edges of the angle are perpendicular to each other (which is a 90 degree angle), as they are in a square.

A right angle is a 1/4 turn. (A full circle turn is 360 degrees; a quarter turn is 90 degrees.)

If you take your index finger and hold it straight up and your thumb on the same hand out creating an L shape, that is a good example of a right angle.

A right angle is a angle that has 90 degrees
A right angle is a corner that measures exactly 90 degrees
It's an angle that bisects the angle formed by two halves of a straight line. It is measured at 90°.
