Aerospace | The inclination to each other of two intersecting lines, measured by the arc of a circle intercepted between the two lines forming the angle, the center of the circle being the point of intersection.An acute angle is less than 90°; a right angle 90 °; an obtuse angle, more than 90° but less than 180 °; a straight angle, 180°; a reflex angle, more than 180° but less than 360°; a perigon, 360°. Any angle not a multiple of 90° is an oblique angle. If the sum of two angles is 90°, they are complementary angles; if 180°, supplementary angles; if 360°, explementary angles. Two adjacent angles have a common vertex and lie on opposite sides of a common side. A dihedral angle is the angle between two intersecting planes. A spherical angle is the angle between two intersecting great circles. (references) |

This article is about angles in geometry. See:

- Angle tribe for the Germanic tribe that moved to Britain.
- Angle, Pembrokeshire for the place in Wales.
An angle is the figure formed by two line segments extending from a point, the vertex of the angle. Angles are studied in geometry and trigonometry.
Measuring angles
In order to measure an angle, a circle centered at the vertex is drawn. The radian measure of the angle is the length of the arc cut out by the angle, divided by the circle's radius. The degree measure of the angle is the length of the arc, divided by the circumference of the circle, and multiplied by 360. The symbol for degrees is a small superscript circle, as in 360°. The grad, also called grade or gon, is a angular measure where the arc is divided by the circumference, and multiplied by 400. It is used mostly in triangulation.
2π radians is equal to 360° (a full circle), so one radian is about 57° and one degree is π/180 radians.
Mathematicians generally prefer angle measurements in radians because this removes the arbitrariness of the number 360 in the degree system and because the trigonometric functions can be developed into particularly simple Taylor series if their arguments are specified in radians. The SI system of units uses radians as the (derived) unit for angles.
Types of angles
An angle of &pi/2 radians or 90 degrees, one-quarter of the full circle is called a right angle. Two line segments which form a right angle are said to be perpendicular:
Angles smaller than a right angle are called acute; angles larger than a right angle are called obtuse. Angles larger than two right angles are called reflex angles.
Some facts
The inner angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees or π radians; the inner angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees or 2π radians. In general, the inner angles of a simple polygon with n sides add up to (n-2)180 degrees or (n-2)π radians.
If two straight lines intersect, four angles are formed. Each one is equal to its opposite.
If a straight line intersects two parallel lines, corresponding angles at the two points of intersection are equal.
Angles in different contexts
In the Euclidean plane, the angle θ between two vectorss u and v is related to their dot product and their lengths by the formula
This allows one to define angles in any real inner product space, replacing the Euclidean dot product · by the Hilbert space inner product <·,·>.
The angle of two intersecting curves is defined to be the angle between the tangents at the point of intersection.
Two intersectin planes form an angle, called their dihedral angle. It is defined as the angle between two lines normal to the planes.
See also solid angle for a concept of angle in three dimensions.
Angles in Riemannian Geometry
In Riemannian geometry, the metric tensor is used to define the angle between two tangents. Where and are tangent vectors and are the components of the metric tensor ,
Angles in Astronomy
In astronomy, one can measure the angular separation of two stars by imagining two lines through the Earth, each one intersecting one of the stars. Then the angle between those lines can be measured; this is the angular separation between the two stars.Astronomers also measure the apparent size of objects. For example, the full moon has an angular measurement of 0.5°, when viewed from Earth. One could say, "The Moon subtends an angle of half a degree." The small-angle formula can be used to convert such an angular measurement into a distance/size ratio.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Angles (German: Angeln, Old English: Englas, Latin: Angli) were one of the Germanic peoples who migrated from continental Germany to Britain in the 5th century, along with the Saxons and Jutes. That land was later called Engla-lond (in Old English - "Land of the Angles"), thus England. They founded (according to sources such as the Venerable Bede) Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia. Thanks to the major influence of the Angles, the people of England are also known as Anglo-Saxons, and, of course English. A region of the United Kingdom is known by the name East Anglia.
The Angle homeland, a small peninsular form in the southern portion of the modern German bundesland of Schleswig-Holstein, itself on the Jutland Peninsula is still called Angeln today, and is formed as a triangle drawn roughly from modern Flensburg on the Flensburger Fjord to Kiel and then to Maasholm on the Schlei inlet. The region's shape, 'an angle' is generally believed to be source Angle toponym, although some suggest angeln as in "to fish" as an alternative.
In any case, this geographic localization of the original Angle tribal group has lead to one of the Anglo-Saxon Invasion's enduring mysteries; namely how it is possible that the Angles were so frequently mentioned as colonizers of ancient Britain while evidence of the also powerful influence of the neighboring Frisians concurrent colonizing activities Britain has been strongly limited to that discoveries in archeological science and more often by un-evidenced though logical deductions and inferences alone. Of course, ethnic Frisians are known to have inhabited the land directly in the path of any invasion route from Angeln to Great Britain and infact, also inhabited lands between the ancient Saxon domaine and Britain, yet they are rarely mentioned as having taken part in the vast migration.
