Obtuse Angle The measure of the angle is greater than 90° and less than 180°.
Straight Angle The measure of the angle is 180°.
Complementary Angles Two angles whose measures add to 90°.
Supplementary Angles Two angles whose measures add to 180°.
Adjacent Angles Angles with a common vertex and a common side, but no common interior points.
Congruent Angles Angles that have the same measure.
Vertical Angles Nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
