Acute Right and Obtuse Angles

Three pipe cleaners are bent and placed side by side. The narrow bend is an acute angle, the L-shaped bend is a right angle, and the wide bend is an obtuse angle.

In the picture

  1. Badge 1 sits on the bend of the left pipe cleaner, where the opening is narrow.
  2. Badge 2 sits on the bend of the middle pipe cleaner, where the shape is an L.
  3. Badge 3 sits on the bend of the right pipe cleaner, where the opening is wide.

Examples

  • The tip of a pizza slice is an acute angle.
  • The corner of a window is a right angle.
