Right angle 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. The term is a calque of Latin "angulus rectus"; here "rectus" means "upright", referring to the vertical perpendicular to a horizontal base line. Closely related and important geometrical concepts are perpendicular lines, meaning lines that form right angles at their point of intersection, and orthogonality, which is the property of forming right angles, usually applied
Perceived visual angle Ono & Mapp (2006) noted, it unfortunately has been ignored in many current theories of size perception, and size illusions. The object's other perceived endpoint, A′, has a perceived direction "d′";, about which the observer might say "it appears toward a higher elevation than point B′." The difference between the two perceived directions () is the perceived visual angle "θ′", also called the perceived angular size or apparent angular size. It is not easy to quantify "θ′". For instance, a well-trained observer might say that point A′ "looks about 25 degrees higher" than B′, but most cannot reliably say how
