A rectilinear angle or angle is the "steepness" between two straight lines. The point at which the lines intersect is called the vertex. The parts of the line that extend from the vertex and surround the "steepness" are called the arms.
This angle is measured in degrees (parts of 360). This angle can also be measured in radians.
There are various special types of angles:
