Types of Lines and Angles in Mathematics

In mathematics, we see various types of lines & angles. They are used to make different shapes like triangle, square, rectangle, etc.

In this article, we will learn about various types of lines & angles one by one.

Lines & Angles

The line is a straight path which has no endpoints. Lines are used to making various shapes.

 

The angle is made by two lines which intersect at a point.
Or
When two line segment meets at a point then they form an angle.

We may classify lines & angles. First, we will discuss the types of line.


Types of lines in mathematics

There are various line which we use in mathematics-

Parallel lines

Lines which is parallel to each other at a particular distance is known as parallel lines.

Intersecting lines

Lines which intersect to each other at a fixed point is known as interesting lines.

Perpendicular lines

Lines which makes a right angle to each other is known as perpendicular lines.


Types of angles in mathematics

There are various angles which we use in mathematics-

Right angle

The angle which is 90° is known as a right angle.

Acute angle

The angle which is between 0° to 90° is known as an acute angle.

Obtuse angle

The angle which is between 90° to 180° is known as the obtuse angle.

Straight angle

The angle which is 180° is known as a straight angle.

Complete angle

The angle which is 360° is known as the complete angle.

Reflex angle

The angle which is between 180° to 360° is known as the reflex angle.


So finally, we discussed different types of lines & angles we use in mathematics. I hope it will helpful to you.
