If the angle is greater than that, the pressure increases too quickly and the adverse pressure gradient will cause flow separation along the walls. By keeping the angle small, the flow remains attached and behaves nicely.

A angle that is smaller than 90 degrees is an acute angle.
An angle smaller than a right angle - is an acute angle. Larger than a right angle, but smaller than 180 degrees is an obtuse angle. Angles between 180 and 360 degrees are reflex angles.
That depends. The smaller angle is 40 degrees and the larger angle is 315 degrees.
Complimentary angles are two angles that add up to 90o. It the sum of two angles is 90o, and one is twice as big as the other, then we can make up a little equation to solve for that larger angle (a). It might look like this: 90o = a + ( a / 2 ) As our larger angle (a) was said to be twice as large as our smaller angle, our smaller angle (a/2) is half as large as the larger angle. 90o = 3a / 2 180o = 3a a = 180o / 3 = 60o Our mystery angle is a 60o angle. The smaller one is 30o. The larger angle is twice the smaller, and they two sum to 90o. Our work checks.
an angle measuring less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle
