ANGLES IN CHEERLEADING
By Erin Holiday
This is an obtuse angle. The angle
formed by the girl’s legs is
greater than 90 degrees making it
obtuse.
The angle formed by the girl’s legs
forms a 90 degree angle,
making this angle a right angle.
This is a straight angle because the measure of
the angle of the girl’s legs is 180 degrees.
The two angles formed by the legs and arms of the girl in the front have the same measure and
are opposite each other, making these angles
vertical angles.
The shape of this cheerleader’s
body is similar to that of a linear
pair because her body forms a 180 degree angle. Her
arm protrudes from this angle
forming two separate angles.
The angle formed by this
cheerleader’s legs is less than 90
degrees. Therefore this angle is an
acute angle.
The arm’s of this cheerleader form a 180
degree angle (or line) that is bisected by the torso and legs of the cheerleader.
There for the angle of the cheerleader’s arms has
been bisected.
The angles formed by the
kneeling cheerleader’s legs are both 90 degrees
making themsupplementar
y angles.
The girl in an arabesque on the far left’s legs represent
complementary angles because the stadium line forms
two separate angles that equal 90
degrees.
