A MATH AND SCIENCE NOTE
A reflex angle is any angle that measures more than 180° but less than 360°.
Imagine swinging a door almost all the way open — the wide space between the door and the frame is like a reflex angle. It’s the big angle going around the outside.
Quick comparison:
90° → right angle
180° → straight line
More than 180° but less than 360° → reflex angle
The word reflex comes from the Latin “reflectere,” meaning to bend back.
In a reflex angle, instead of measuring the small angle between two lines, you’re measuring the bigger, bent-back sweep — the part that “wraps around” past 180°. It’s like you’re bending the angle backward to cover the larger part of the circle.
So:
Regular angles measure the “short way” between two lines.
Reflex angles measure the “long way” — bending around the point.
