In the angle discrimination section of achiever, it says " measurement of angle is inversely proportional to the sharpness of the angle."

What sharpness they are talking about?
 
If an angle is sharp ("high" in sharpness), its measurement is "low", and vice versa.

thanks...but i got that...
the thing which i cant get is what "sharpness" are they talking about?
 
I think I may be misunderstanding your question, but isn't it the sharpness of the tip where the two lines join?
 
I think what they mean is the "pixelation" (yes I just made that word up). The more jaggedy the lines look, the greater the angle.

Something I noticed while doing angle problems is that the more time I spend looking at them, the more I get wrong. You want to look at them quickly, go with your gut instinct and move on. Save the time for keyholes and pattern folding, I find them to be trickier.
