When an angle is drawn a small arc is normally placed near the vertex between the arms to show the angle.

A reflex angle is one greater than 180°, so draw the two arms as normal and then draw a small arc around the vertex of the angle "outside" the arms of the angle, ie around the angle which is greater than 180°

If the problem is how to draw the reflex angle with a protractor that only goes up to 180°, then note that "360° - the reflex angle" gives an angle which is less than 180° and can be measure by the 180° protractor. Draw one arm of the angle, measure the calculated angle (eg if the reflex angle was 200°, 360° - 200° = 160°, so measure 160°), draw the other arm, and then draw an arc around the vertex "outside" the arms to show the reflex angle (in the example, the 200° angle).

Is it possible to draw a reflex angle straight?

yes


How do you contruct a reflex angle?

A reflex angle is an angle greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees. To construct one draw two lines at an angle and draw the angle measurement circle around the side you normally don't do it on.


Is it possible to draw a reflex angle so the other angle formed by the arm is obtuse?

yes. if the reflex angle is 260 degrees, the other is 100 which is obtuse


How do you draw a reflex angle that measures 245 degrees?

If you have a 360o protractor, you draw one side of the angle, measure 245o round from this line and then draw in the other side of the angle, and then mark a small arc around the reflex angle. If you only have a 180o protractor, you start again by drawing one side of the angle; then you measure 360o - 245o = 115o the "wrong way" round from this line to give the 245o the right way and draw in the other side, and then mark a small arc around the reflex angle.


Is it possible to draw a reflex angle so the other angle formed by the arm is stright?

Yes


Is it possible to draw a reflex angle acute?

yes because if you flip the acute angle it is possibe


Is it possible to draw a reflex angle so the other angle formed by the arm is acute?

No, it is not possible to draw a reflex angle where the other angle formed by the arm is acute. A reflex angle measures between 180 and 360 degrees, while an acute angle measures less than 90 degrees. Therefore, the other angle formed by the arm in a reflex angle scenario would have to be obtuse, measuring between 90 and 180 degrees.

Answer Reflex Angle


How do you draw an angle that measures 243 degrees?

you can only draw an reflex angle if you have a circular protractorthere is also a way with a normal protractor you can rotate your protractor and there you can now make ur Reflex angleRememberyou should minus 1 degree


Is it possible to draw a triange with a reflex angle?

If you mean the reflex angle is an interior angle of the triangle then no. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o, which mean all the angles must be less than 180o, but a reflex angle is greater than 180o and so cannot be one of these angles.
