1a(1) : characterized by sharpness or severity of sudden onset acute pain. (2) : having a sudden onset, sharp rise, and short course acute illness. (3) : being, providing, or requiring short-term medical care (as for serious illness or traumatic injury) acute hospitals an acute patient.

Acute really means “sharp” or “severe” or “intense” and modifies certain kinds of angles in geometry or describes a certain kind of illness of short duration. The English word apparently entered the language during the sixteenth century from the Latin root acutus, which means “sharp” or “pointed.”

​acutely aware/conscious noticing or feeling something very strongly. I am acutely aware of the difficulties we face.

Overview. Acute conditions are severe and sudden in onset. This could describe anything from a broken bone to an asthma attack. A chronic condition, by contrast is a long-developing syndrome, such as osteoporosis or asthma. Note that osteoporosis, a chronic condition, may cause a broken bone, an acute condition.

An acute angle is an angle that measures between 90° and 0°, meaning it is smaller than a right angle (an “L” shape) but has at least some space between the two lines that form it. A “V” shape is an example of an acute angle.

An angle equal to 0° or not turned is called a zero angle. An angle smaller than a right angle (less than 90°) is called an acute angle (“acute” meaning “sharp”).

An angle that measures less than 90° is called an acute angle. For example, when the time is 11 o’clock, the angle formed between the hour hand and the minute hand is an acute angle. In other words, 30°, 40°, 57°, and so on are all acute angles.

Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees. Right angles measure 90 degrees. Obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees.

Acute Angle – An angle less than 90 degrees. Right Angle – An angle that is exactly 90 degrees. Obtuse Angle – An angle more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees….Summary.

Answer. A reflex angle is the larger angle, it’s always more than 180° (half a circle) but less than 360° (A full circle). The smallest angle is 1. It is acute and is smaller than a right angle.

In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly 90° (degrees), corresponding to a quarter turn. If a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles.

A vertical and a horizontal line make most common right angles. However, diagonal lines intersecting each other also form right angles. If you draw the diagonals of a square, a rhombus or a kite, the angle at the intersection is 90 degrees and is, therefore, a right angle.
