- 1.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.
- 2.Three angles lie on a straight line. They measure 38°, 95° and x°. Work out the value of x.
- 3.The interior angles of a pentagon are 100°, 110°, 120°, x° and x°. Work out the size of each of the two angles marked x°.
- 4.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.
- 5.Two straight lines cross at a point. Which statement about a pair of vertically opposite angles is always true?
- 6.The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 7.Which of these describes an obtuse angle?
- 8.In triangle ABC the angle at A and the angle at C are equal. The side AB is extended beyond B, and the exterior angle formed at B measures 98°. Work out the size of the angle at A.
- 9.Four angles meet at a point. Three of them measure 82°, 105° and 96°. Work out the size of the fourth angle.
- 10.A regular polygon has an interior angle of 156°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 11.Freya is designing a triangular flower bed. Two of its corners have equal angles, and the angle at the third corner is 40°. Work out the size of one of the two equal corner angles.
- 12.A regular nonagon has 9 sides. Work out the sum of its interior angles.
- 13.At a point on a straight line, two angles are formed. One of them is 63°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 14.In triangle ABC, angle A is 2x°, angle B is 3x° and angle C is 4x°. Work out the size of angle B.
- 15.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
