- E.
  
  Measures between 360 degrees and 720 degrees
Correct Answer
A. Measures 90 degrees

Explanation
A right angle is a type of angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. It is formed when two lines intersect each other and create a square corner. In a right angle, one side of the angle is vertical and the other side is horizontal, forming a perfect L shape. This measurement of 90 degrees is a defining characteristic of a right angle, making it the correct answer.

- E.
  
  Measures between 360 degrees and 720 degrees
Correct Answer
D. Measures between 180 degrees and 360 degrees

Explanation
A reflex angle is an angle that measures between 180 degrees and 360 degrees. This means that it is greater than a straight angle (180 degrees) but less than a full rotation (360 degrees).

Correct Answer
B. Has 2 rulers - inch and centimeter scale

Explanation
A geometry template is a tool used to measure angles and has 2 rulers - inch and centimeter scale. It is not related to the Latin word meaning "to tax" or "to appraise". It is also not specifically a flat, 2-dimensional figure made up of line segments, although it can be used to draw such figures. Additionally, it does not have 17 different figures on it.
