Answer sheet

1. Acute — An acute angle is smaller than a right angle.
2. Right — The corner of a sheet of paper is a quarter turn, which is a right angle.
3. Right angle — At 3 o'clock the hands point to 12 and 3, which is a quarter turn: a right angle.
4. Straight angle — At 6 o'clock the hands point to 12 and 6 and form a straight line, which is a straight angle.
5. 4 — Every corner of a rectangle is a right angle, and a rectangle has 4 corners.
6. 2 — A straight angle is a half turn, and two quarter turns make a half turn.
7. Obtuse — Angles between a right angle and a straight angle are called obtuse.
8. A full turn — Turning all the way around back to the start is a full turn, which is the same as four right angles.
