Angles are divided into four classes according to their measure. A full angle is an angle that measures a full circle.

Classes of Angles
Degree MeasureRadian MeasureClass Name
α < 90°α < π/2 rad. Acute angle
α = 90°α = π/2 rad. Right angle
90° < α < 180°π/2 < α < π rad. Obtuse angle
α = 180°α = π rad. Straight angle
180 < α < 360°π < α < 2π rad. Reflex angle
α = 360°α = 2π rad. Full angle
