Geometry

A cute little angle

A cute little angle

Helps you remember an acute angle is less than 90 degrees.

When to use it

Use it to remember that an acute angle is small, because a cute thing is small and charming.

Example

A 45° angle is acute because 45° is less than 90°. A 120° angle is obtuse, not acute.

Common mistake

Calling a right angle (exactly 90°) acute. Acute means strictly less than 90°.
