Indicates which angle is greater
Answer B is correct because the more closed the angle is, the more acute it is (less than 90 degrees), meaning it's smaller.
The more open the angle is, the more obtuse it is (greater than 90 degrees), meaning it's larger.
Indicates which angle is greater
Look at the opening between the two rays! The angle that opens wider (like a mouth opening more) is the larger angle. Think of it like scissors - the more you open them, the bigger the angle.
No! Angle size depends only on the rotation between the rays, not their length. You could extend or shorten the lines without changing the angle measurement at all.
Acute angles are less than 90° (narrow opening), while obtuse angles are greater than 90° (wide opening). A right angle is exactly 90° and looks like a square corner.
Compare it to a right angle (square corner). If the angle opens wider than a square corner, it's obtuse (greater than 90°). If it's narrower, it's acute (less than 90°).
Absolutely! Visual comparison is a great skill. Just focus on which angle has the wider opening between its rays - that's always the larger angle, regardless of exact measurements.
