Angle Finder

Have you ever been lost or confused when you didn't know the correct angle when looking at an object? Using an Angle Finder is a template that is very helpful when you are wanting to know a specific angle. This template can help you determine the four different types of angles in a triangles, which we all are familiar with: acute angle, obtuse angle, right angle, and a straight angle. Using this template, determining the correct angle should be easy. To make the Angle Finder you would need one note card. At the bottom left you will make a square using the corner of the note card. Then you would name that edge a right angle, because it is a perfect 90 degree angle. At the very bottom of the note card you will label straight angle, because we all know a straight angle is 180 degrees. With these two in mind, when you put this note card against an object you can determine an acute angle and an obtuse angle. An acute angle will be anything less than the 90 degree angle, and an obtuse angle is anything greater than the 90 degree angle. This tool is very helpful and it's easy to create! :)
