===Individual angles=== There is some common terminology for angles, whose measure is always non-negative (see ''{{section link|#Signed angles}}''): * An angle equal to 0° or not turned is called a ''zero angle''.{{sfn|Moser|1971|p=41}} * An angle smaller than a right angle (less than 90°) is called an ''acute angle''{{sfn|Godfrey|Siddons|1919|p=9}} ("acute" meaning "[[Sharpness (visual)|sharp]]"). * An angle equal to {{sfrac|4}} [[Turn (angle)|turn]] (90° or {{sfrac|{{math|π}}|2}} [[radian]]s) is called a ''[[right angle]]''. Two lines that form a right angle are said to be ''[[normal (geometry)|normal]]'', ''[[orthogonality|orthogonal]]'', or ''[[perpendicular]]''.{{sfn|Moser|1971|p=71}} * An angle larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°) is called an ''obtuse angle''{{sfn|Godfrey|Siddons|1919|p=9}} ("obtuse" meaning "blunt"). * An angle equal to {{sfrac|2}} turn (180° or {{math|π}} radians) is called a ''straight angle''.{{sfn|Moser|1971|p=41}} * An angle larger than a straight angle but less than 1 turn (between 180° and 360°) is called a ''reflex angle''. * An angle equal to 1 turn (360° or 2{{math|π}} radians) is called a ''full angle'', ''complete angle'', ''round angle'' or ''perigon''. * An angle that is not a multiple of a right angle is called an ''oblique angle''. The names, intervals, and measuring units are shown in the table below: {{Multiple image |align=right |direction=horizontal |image1=Right angle.svg |width1=111 |caption1=[[Right angle]] |image2=Angle obtuse acute straight.svg |width2=200 |caption2=Acute (<var>a</var>), obtuse (<var>b</var>), and straight (<var>c</var>) angles.
