A 90 degree angle is also known as right angle. A right angle (or 90 degrees) looks like an L shape. A square or rectangle's four corners are all 90 degrees.

How do you draw a 450 degree angle?

For a 450 degree angle, you would subtract 360 from 450, which gives you 90 degrees. Therefore, you will draw a 90 degree angle. Explanation below: There are only 360 degrees in a circle. A 450 degree angle would go around a circle once completely, then it would stop at the 90 degree angle mark.


What is one way obtuse and right triangle are different?

An Obtuse Angle is any angle that has a degree between 91 degrees and 180 degrees. A right angle is exactly 90 degrees. Take a protractor and look at the 90 degree mark. If you see a dot near the bottom half, you go up to the 90 degree mark and to the side the 0 degree. It forms perpendicular lines. That means it is a right angle. The only reason a right angle is different than an obtuse angle is because the obtuse angle has a greater angle than the right angle.


Why does a 45 degree angle shot go farther than 90 or 0 degree angle shots?

45 Degrees is exactly between 90 and 0 degrees so it is the maximim shot. If you shoot something 90 degrees it would go straight up. If you shoot somthing 0 degrees it hits the ground fastest because of gravity. But the 45 degree angle allows for the most lift and distance for an object to travel.


How is math used in skating?

Well I think that you can use your calculations of angles and things like that to increase the speed of the skater. Like, let's say that the skaters leg was coming out at a 40 degree angle and to go faster he would have to make his leg go out at a 90 degree angle.


The sum of all angles of atriangle is equals 180degree.Explain?

The best way is to start with a square. Every angle in a square is 90. if you add them up, you get 360 degrees. A triangle can be made by making a diagonal in the square. Since it is a square, the opposite angles are bisected, so you have one 90 degree angle, and 2 - 45 degree angles. Add them up: 90 + 45 + 45 = 180. Move on to a rectangle. Same 4 90 degree angles. Make a diagonal. Since the opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel, the diagonal creates opposite interior angles, which are congruent. The two angles created by the diagonal on each corner also add to 90. Thus, inside your triangle, you have the right angle, one angle a, and the other is the complimentary angle 90 - a. Add these up and you get 90 + a + (90 - a) = 90 + 90 + a - a = 90 + 90 = 180. Using this logic, it is similar for a parallelogram (which defines all triangles), and now you have all angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees. If this is confusing, just go with it.


Which angle best repersents an acute angle?

Well since an acute angle is everything with a smaller degree than a right angle, there is no perfect acute angle. However, to demonstrate an acute angle, i would go with around a 20-25 degree angle.


How high in elevation can a locust go?

90 degree


If an angle measures more than 90 degrees then it is a obtuse angle What is the converse of this statment?

The converse statement is that if the angle is an obtuse angle then it measures more than 90 degrees. Does not add much by way of information but there you go!


What shapes contain an obtuse angle?

Well the list will go on forever but an obtuse angle is an angle bigger than 90 degrees!


What are angles that measure less than 90 degrees?

A right angle is an angle whose measure is exactly 90 degrees. Continuing around the circle, next is the obtuse angle. An obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is in between 90 and 180 degrees. The last major kind of angle is the straight angle. A straight angle is an angle that measures exactly 180 degrees. Thus the name - the two rays form a straight line. A negative angle is also possible. This just means that you go clockwise instead of counterclockwise.SOURCE: http://library.thinkquest.org/2647/geometry/angle/measure.htmthat website also has lots of more information on angles!


How does angle affect the distance of a projectile?

yes it does. you see if you have it set up at a a 90 degree angle it will go further than it would of a 10 degree angle A projectile leaving the ground at an angle of 45 degrees will attain the maximum range. Fire it straight up and it will fall back to its launch location (wind effects etc. ignored). Fire it horizontally and it will hit the ground very much the same time as if it was dropped from its launch platform at the same time. That would not be very far.


What kind of triangle measures go degrees 90 degrees and 30 degrees?

A right angle triangle and the third angle measures 60 degrees
