  An obtuse angle is larger than a right angle but smaller than a straight angle, so it
                       measures more than 90° but less than 180°.

                     Example: An angle of 130° is an obtuse angle.
               3. Reflex Angle:















                     A reflex angle is greater than a straight angle but less than a full circle. This means it
                       measures more than 180° but less than 360°.
               These types cover all possible angles based on their degree measures.



               Key Points

                     A point is a location with no size, represented by a dot, and labelled with a capital letter such
                       as A, B, or C.

                     A line segment is the shortest distance between two points, having two endpoints, and is
                       denoted as AB or BA.

                     A line extends infinitely in both directions, has no endpoints, and can be represented by two
                       points or a single lowercase letter.

                     A ray starts at one point and extends infinitely in one direction, denoted by the starting point
                       and another point on the ray, like Ray AB.
                     An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common starting point called the vertex, and is
                       measured by the rotation from one ray to the other.

                     Angles are measured in degrees (°), with a full circle being 360°, a straight angle being 180°,
                       and a right angle being 90°.

                     A protractor is a tool used to measure angles, with labelled protractors having marked
                       degrees for easy reading, while unlabelled protractors require careful counting of degree
                       units.
