This document discusses different types of angles formed by cheerleaders' bodies during routines including obtuse, right, straight, vertical, acute, bisected, and supplementary angles. Examples of each type of angle are shown through photographs cited in the bibliography with captions explaining the angle measurement.

1. ANGLES IN
CHEERLEADING
By Erin Holiday

2. This is an obtuse
angle. The angle
formed by the
girl’s legs is
greater than 90
degrees making it
obtuse.

3. The angle formed
by the girl’s legs
forms a 90
degree angle,
making this angle
a right angle.

4. This is a straight angle
because the measure of
the angle of the girl’s legs
is 180 degrees.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. The angle formed
by this
cheerleader’s legs
is less than 90
degrees. Therefore
this angle is an
acute angle.

8. 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.

9. The angles
formed by the
kneeling
cheerleader’s
legs are both
90 degrees
making them
supplementar
y angles.

10. 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.
