English term or phrase: acute/obtuse included angle
acute/obtuse included angle

context: geometry of indexable inserts
"A cutting insert comprising a block of cutting material having first and second quadrilateral and substantially flat surfaces disposed in parallel planes, a first side of said first face surface being located at an acute included angle relative to a second and adjacent side of said first face surface and at an obtuse included angle relative to a third side of said first face surface.
I'm having trouble with how to phrase ...located at an acute/obtuse included angle relative to....
I know that acute/obtuse angles are scharfe/stumpfe Winkel, but how do I fit the included characteristic of the angle into the phrase?
Any help greatly appreciated!

scharfer/stumpfer Öffnungswinkel


Explanation:
I found this in Ernst:

included angle, angle of VEE (moulding die) / Öffnungswinkel m (Spritzwerkzeug)
which seems to be indirect proof of my suggestion
