Obtuse Angles!

Wide & Open Angles

Grade 5 Ontario Math πŸ“š β€’ Geometry & Spatial Sense

Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! πŸ‘‹

I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Obtuse Angles! Obtuse angles are bigger than a right angle (more than 90Β°) but smaller than a straight line (less than 180Β°). They look wide and open β€” like the mouth of a surprised fish or the bend in a hockey stick! Ready to explore big angles? Let’s go! πŸš€

🧠 What is an Obtuse Angle?

An angle that measures more than 90Β° but less than 180Β°.

This wide angle is obtuse!

πŸ”„ Acute vs Right vs Obtuse

  • Acute Angle β†’ Less than 90Β° (small & sharp)
  • Right Angle β†’ Exactly 90Β° (perfect corner)
  • Obtuse Angle β†’ More than 90Β° but less than 180Β° (wide & open)
