what do you call a destroyed angle?
The correct answer and explanation is:
The term you’re looking for is likely “reflex angle” or “obtuse angle,” but if you mean an angle that has been “destroyed” or broken down, in geometry it’s not common to say “destroyed angle.” However, the closest concept might be an “exterior angle” or “supplementary angle” depending on context. Could you clarify if you mean an angle that has been broken apart or one that is very large or distorted?
Explanation:
In geometry, an angle is formed when two lines or rays meet at a common point called the vertex. Angles can be classified by their measure in degrees:
- Acute angle: less than 90°
- Right angle: exactly 90°
- Obtuse angle: between 90° and 180°
- Straight angle: exactly 180°
- Reflex angle: between 180° and 360°
The phrase “destroyed angle” is not a standard geometric term, but if you mean an angle that is no longer “intact” or is “broken,” the closest related concepts include:
- Exterior Angle: When a polygon side is extended, the angle formed outside the polygon is called an exterior angle. This can be seen as the “break” or continuation beyond the original angle.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that add up to 180°. Sometimes angles can be thought of as “broken” into two parts that together sum to a straight line.
- Reflex Angle: This is an angle larger than 180° but less than 360°, essentially “bending backward” past a straight line. In some informal speech, this might be interpreted as a “destroyed” or distorted angle since it goes beyond the normal 0° to 180° range.
- Angle Bisector: If an angle is divided into two smaller angles by a ray, this might be considered “breaking” an angle into parts.
If you meant something else by “destroyed angle,” please provide more context, such as a diagram or where you heard this term, so I can give a more precise explanation.
