 Angle Types

Acute Angle - Angle that is Obtuse Angle - Angle Right Angle - Angle
less than 90°. that is greater than 90°. equal to 90°.
 Geometric Constraints
Horizontal

Vertical

Parallel - Lines that are equal distance from each other at each point along their length.

These two lines are parallel. The lines are

also representing the symbol for parallel.

Perpendicular - Lines that are 90° from one another.

These two lines are perpendicular and

represent the symbol for perpendicular.
