sharp angle
Sudden directional change
A sharp angle is one that turns abruptly rather than gradually—typically acute, meaning less than 90 degrees.
The phrase emphasizes the suddenness of the turn: The car took a sharp angle into the alley.
In geometry, sharp angle is informal usage; the technical term is acute angle.
