💡 Key Ideas (Quick Guide)
📐 What Is a Right Angle?
A right angle is a square corner. It measures exactly 90 degrees. Look for the little ◻️ square symbol — that tells you it’s a right angle!
🔄 Quarter Turn = 1 Right Angle
🔢 Turn
📐 ¼ Quarter Turn = 1 Right Angle
📐 ½ Half Turn = 2 Right Angles
📐 ¾ Three-Quarter Turn = 3 Right Angles
🌟 Remember This!
- ✅ A quarter turn → spins you to face the side → equal to 1 right angle
- ✅ A half turn → spins you to face behind → greater than a right angle (= 2 right angles)
- ✅ A three-quarter turn → almost a full circle → greater than a right angle (= 3 right angles)
