Question

Name the type of angle shown.

Answer 1

Answer: Obtuse Angle

The angle LJK is larger than 90 degrees, so that's why it is obtuse.

If you want, place segment JK so it is completely flat on the ground or parallel to it. Then draw a vertical line through point J. Mark point M above point J on this vertical line somewhere. Angle MJK is a right angle (90 degrees) and we see that LJK is larger than 90 as it extends past point M.

Answer 2

Answer:

LJK is obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Acute angles are less than 90 degrees

Right angles are 90 degrees

Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees

Straight angles = 180 degrees

Zero angles are a ray

This angle is greater than 90 but less than 180 so it is obtuse
