- 1.In triangle ABC, angle A is 2x°, angle B is 3x° and angle C is 4x°. Work out the size of angle B.
- 2.Two identical ladders lean against the same vertical wall from opposite sides, each making an angle of 58.2° with the ground. The two ladders and the ground form a triangle. Work out the size of the angle between the two ladders at the top, where they meet.
- 3.Four angles meet at a point. Three of them measure 82°, 105° and 96°. Work out the size of the fourth angle.
- 4.A regular polygon has 12 sides. Work out the size of one exterior angle of the polygon.
- 5.Two angles are supplementary. One of them is twice the size of the other. Work out the size of the smaller angle.
- 6.A transversal crosses a pair of parallel lines. At one line, the angle is (5x + 4)°. The corresponding angle at the other line is (3x + 24)°. Work out the value of x.
- 7.A regular polygon has an exterior angle of 45°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 8.A regular nonagon has 9 sides. Work out the sum of its interior angles.
- 9.Two angles are complementary. One of them is 35°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 10.A straight line crosses two parallel lines. An angle of 65° is formed at one crossing. At the other crossing, the angle that lies between the two parallel lines on the opposite side of the crossing line is also 65°. Write down the angle fact that explains why these two angles are equal.
- 11.A regular polygon has an interior angle of 156°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 12.The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 13.A conservatory has a roof panel shaped like a regular octagon. Work out the interior angle of the octagon, then use it to work out the size of the reflex angle at the same vertex, on the outside of the roof panel.
- 14.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
- 15.At a point on a straight line, two angles are formed. One of them is 63°. Work out the size of the other angle.
