Question

What is the meaning of the term 'Reflex'? (Mathematical Term)

Answer 1

Definition: An angle whose measure is greater than 180° and less than 360°Try this Adjust the angle below by dragging an orange dot and see how the angle ∠ABC behaves. Note that it is a reflex angle only when it is between 180° and a full circle.

Some might argue than reflex angles are not real. They are the 'other half' of a smaller angle. Indeed if you refer to the angle ∠ABC without qualifying it,it is generally assumed that you mean the smallest angle. If you mean the large part of the angle, you must specify it by saying 'reflex angle ∠ABC'.

For example -

181 is a reflex angle
359 is a reflex angle...
