Obtuse Angle — Greater Than 90°, Less Than 180°

An obtuse angle measures more than 90° and less than 180° — wider than a square corner, but not yet a straight line.

120°

Range: 90° < obtuse < 180° (π/2 < rad < π).

Examples: 100°, 110°, 120°, 135°, 150°.

Think of an opening door past 90°, a reclined chair, or the obtuse corners of a wide rhombus.

Preset tip: try 120° or 135° chips on the tool.

How to measure

  1. Center on the vertex, baseline on one edge.
  2. Drag the second ray until the reading is between 90° and 180° — label will read Obtuse.
  3. If you see 60° but expected 120°, you’re reading the reflex side — turn off “Measure reflex” or check the secondary chip (360°−reading).

Need radians? 120° ≈ 2.094 rad. See degrees → radians.
