Half a straight line is called a "ray." A ray starts at a specific point, known as the endpoint, and extends infinitely in one direction. Unlike a line segment, which has two endpoints, a ray has only one endpoint and continues indefinitely.

Is a straight line an obtuse angle?

no... a straight line is a 180 degrees half circle.


What do angles on a straight line equal to?

Angles on a straight line always add up to 180 degrees. This is because a straight line represents a half-turn, and the total measure of angles around a point is 360 degrees. Therefore, the angles on one side of the straight line must sum to half of that total, equating to 180 degrees.


How do you find the equidistant point for a straight line?

The equidistant point of a straight line is the middle. Measure the distance from one end to the other and half it.

Why is a straight line 180 degrees?

A straight line is defined as an angle of 180 degrees because it represents a half-turn around a point. In geometric terms, if you have a point and draw two rays emanating from it in opposite directions, the angle formed between these two rays measures 180 degrees. This is based on the full circle being 360 degrees, where a straight line corresponds to half of that total. Thus, the angle formed by a straight line is precisely half of a complete rotation.


Why is there 90 degrees in a right angle?

Because 90 degrees is half of a straight line. A straight line is equal to 180 degrees. 180 divided by 2 = 90.


What is radius?

Radius is half the diameter. The diameter of a circle is a straight line that passes from one side of the circle to the other through the centre of the circle. Half of that line is the radius.
