Angle Peak
Angle Peak (71°45′S 62°3′W / 71.750°S 62.050°WCoordinates: 71°45′S 62°3′W / 71.750°S 62.050°W) is a small but dominant peak that rises from one of the main spurs on the north side of Condor Peninsula in Antarctica. The feature stands close south of where Cline Glacier enters Odom Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1974, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for J. Phillip Angle, of the Smithsonian Institution, who made bird life observations off the west coast of South America in 1965, and in Antarctic areas southward to Marguerite Bay, Antarctic Peninsula in 1966. He collaborated with George E. Watson in writing Birds of the Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic, 1975.

Right angle
In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle that bisects the angle formed by two adjacent parts of a straight line. More precisely, if a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. As a rotation, a right angle corresponds to a quarter turn (that is, a quarter of a full circle).
Closely related and important geometrical concepts are perpendicular lines, meaning lines that form right angles at their point of intersection, and orthogonality, which is the property of forming right angles, usually applied to vectors. The presence of a right angle in a triangle is the defining factor for right triangles, making the right angle basic to trigonometry.
The term is a calque of Latin angulus rectus; here rectus means "upright", referring to the vertical perpendicular to a horizontal base line.
Symbols
In Unicode, the symbol for a right angle is U+221F ∟ RIGHT ANGLE (HTML ∟).
In diagrams the fact that an angle is a right angle is usually expressed by adding a small right angle that forms a square with the angle in the diagram, as seen in the diagram of a right triangle (in British English, a right-angled triangle) to the right. The symbol for a measured angle, an arc with a dot, is used in some European countries, including German-speaking countries and Poland, as an alternative symbol for a right angle.
