An obtuse angle is anything that measures between 91-179 degrees. (because 90 degrees is a right angle and 180 is a straight angle) An acute angle is anything that is lower than 90 degrees.
** TIP: I remember acute angles because it has the word cute in it and I think "Oh it's so cute." I can remember right angles because "They are always right, proper, and tall." Straight angles look like a straight line so that's easy enough to remember.

An acute angle.
The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, and the measure of an acute angle is less than 90 degrees. Therefore, the sum of a straight angle and an acute angle will always be greater than the measure of two obtuse angles, as the sum of two obtuse angles will always be greater than 180 degrees. In mathematical terms, 180 + x > 180 + 2y, where x is the acute angle and y is the measure of an obtuse angle.
An obtuse angle is larger than an acute angle.
