Click the colored icon to the right to practice identifying whether the angle shown is obtuse, right, acute, or straight

What is a Right Angle?

r

Click the globe icon to the right to practice identifying if angle shown is larger than a right angle, smaller than a right angle, or exactly a right angle

A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90°

What are Congruent Angles?

Congruent angles are angles that have equal angle measurements

If two shapes have congruent angles, then the shapes are also congruent, meaning they are the same shape
