HSG-CO.A.1

Definition

An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees, forming a straight line.

Examples

  • Points A, B, and C on a straight line form a 180 degree straight angle.
  • A linear pair of angles always adds up to a straight angle, 180 degrees.

Key rule

A straight angle looks like a straight line, not a bent corner.

Memory hook

A flat angle — exactly 180 degrees.
