Angles are described as being [[Acute angle|acute]] (less than ninety degrees), right angles (ninety degrees exactly), [[Obtuse Angle|obtuse]] (greater than ninety degrees but less than one hundred eighty degrees), and reflex (over 180 degrees).  A one-hundred-eighty degree angle is a straight line.
