What are Angles? 1. An Acute Angle An acute angle is an angle that is smaller then 90 degrees. 2. An Obtuse Angle An obtuse angle is an angle that is bigger then 90 degrees. 3. A Right Angle A right angle is an angle that is exactly 90 degrees

What is Basketball? The object of the game is to put the ball through the basket as many times as possible 5 players can be on the court for each team Fouls for shooting or hitting a player with the ball

How do they both relate? To be able to shot he ball effectively, you need to be able to have an arc or angle on your shoot. The better the arc or angle the better the chances of scoring

Big Angle Shot or Little Angle Shot Big Angle Shot (Obtuse) They can be an effective way to score a basket. The ball can make it into the basket easier causing a swish. Little Angle shot (Acute) More of an accurate shot. There’s a less chance for the ball to hit off the rim like a big angle shot.
