Angle vs. Dangle — What's the Difference?

In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays lie in the plane that contains the rays.

To cause to hang loosely or swing

To try to get something by indirect or artful means

(Sports)To hit (a ball or puck, for example) at an angle.

(geometry) A figure formed by two rays which start from a common point (a plane angle) or by three planes that intersect (a solid angle). Category:en:Shapes

(geometry) The measure of such a figure. In the case of a plane angle, this is the ratio (or proportional to the ratio) of the arc length to the radius of a section of a circle cut by the two rays, centered at their common point. In the case of a solid angle, this is the ratio of the surface area to the square of the radius of the section of a sphere.

A corner where two walls intersect.

A change in direction.

A viewpoint; a way of looking at something.

(media) The focus of a news story.

Any of various hesperiid butterflies.

To place (something) at an angle.

To change direction rapidly.

To present or argue something in a particular way or from a particular viewpoint.

To hamper (oneself or one's opponent) by leaving the cue ball in the jaws of a pocket such that the surround of the pocket (the "angle") blocks the path from cue ball to object ball.

To try to catch fish with a hook and line.

To attempt to subtly persuade someone to offer a desired thing.

The inclosed space near the point where two lines meet; a corner; a nook.
