Geometry

You can think of the two sides of the angle as having started side by side, and having opened up to a
certain point. When the two sides "open up", they draw an imaginary arc of a circle. Look at the
pictures. Illustrate the same with two pens or pencils. Move the one pencil while keeping the other
stationary, and "see" how the imaginary circle is drawn in the air while you rotate the other pencil.
You can also think of a sun rising in the morning in the horizon, and gradually getting higher, and
traveling through the sky along an arc of a circle.

This angle is called In each picture the angle keeps getting bigger. The arc of the circle
the zero angle. is larger. The angle is opened more and more.
These angles are acute angles, which means they are less than a right
angle. Think of the acute angles as sharp angles. If someone stabbed
you with the vertex of the angle, it would be sharp.

This angle is called The angle is opened even
