What is an 80 Angle Called?

An 80-degree angle is called an acute angle because it measures less than 90 degrees.

In geometry, angles are classified by their measurements:

• Acute angle: Between 0° and 90° (including 80°)
• Right angle: Exactly 90°
• Obtuse angle: Between 90° and 180°
• Straight angle: Exactly 180°

An 80° angle falls into the acute category, meaning it's sharp and less than a right angle.

Importants Points:

• Classification: Acute angle
• Range: 0° < acute angle < 90°
• Characteristics: Sharp, less than right angle
