- 1.A straight line crosses two parallel lines. One of the angles formed is (2x + 10)°, and the angle alternate to it is 74°. Work out the value of x.
- 2.In triangle ABC, angle A is 2x°, angle B is 3x° and angle C is 4x°. Work out the size of angle B.
- 3.A ramp's sloped surface crosses two horizontal parallel rails. At the top rail, the angle between the ramp and the rail on the right of the ramp is (3x + 10)°. At the bottom rail, the angle between the ramp and the rail on the left of the ramp is (5x − 30)°. Work out the value of x.
- 4.Two angles are supplementary. One of them is twice the size of the other. Work out the size of the smaller angle.
- 5.A straight transversal crosses a pair of parallel lines. At one crossing point, the angle between the transversal and a parallel line is 118°. Work out the size of the co-interior (allied) angle at the other crossing point.
- 6.Which of these describes an obtuse angle?
- 7.Three angles lie on a straight line. They measure 38°, 95° and x°. Work out the value of x.
- 8.A straight line crosses a pair of parallel lines. At one of the crossing points, one of the four angles measures 55°. Work out the size of the angle next to it on a straight line at that crossing point.
- 9.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
- 10.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.
- 11.A regular polygon has 12 sides. Work out the size of one exterior angle of the polygon.
- 12.Two straight lines cross at a point. Which statement about a pair of vertically opposite angles is always true?
- 13.A regular polygon has an exterior angle of 45°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 14.The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 15.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.
