Spell Bee Word: Angle


What does angle mean?

Word: Angle

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Angle means the space between two straight lines or surfaces that meet, measured in degrees.

Angle in a sentence

Example 1: Use a protractor to measure each angle of the shape.

Fun Fact

Angle comes from the Latin word angulus, 'a corner', which is why the corners of shapes are where you find their angles.
