Picturing a clock face, a 180 degree angle appears as if the time was 6:00.

An obtuse angle is an angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. A 180 degree angle is a straight horizontal line. So you can imagine that a 160 degree angle is almost but not quite horizontal.
Bigger than 90 (a right angle), less than 180 (a straight line).
put the protractor on the vertex and look up at the degree's and look belowacute angle =has a measure between 0 degree's and 90 degree'sright angle =has a measure of 90 degree'sobtuse angle = has a measure between 90 degree's and 180 degree'sstraight angle = has a measure of 180 degree'sthat's how you use a protractor to measure angles.
You would subtract 40 degrees from 180 degrees so it would look like this:180 degrees - 40 degrees = 140 degrees
