- 1.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
- 2.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.
- 3.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.
- 4.At a point on a straight line, two angles are formed. One of them is 63°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 5.A regular polygon has an exterior angle of 45°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 6.Angle ABC is 130°. The line BF divides angle ABC into two equal parts. Work out the size of angle FBC.
- 7.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.
- 8.Two angles are complementary. One of them is 35°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 9.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.
- 10.Two of the angles in a triangle are 50° and 70°. Work out the size of the third angle.
- 11.Three angles lie on a straight line. They measure 38°, 95° and x°. Work out the value of x.
- 12.Which of these describes an obtuse angle?
- 13.A regular polygon has an interior angle of 156°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 14.Four angles meet at a point. Three of them measure 82°, 105° and 96°. Work out the size of the fourth angle.
- 15.A regular hexagon is divided into six identical triangles by joining its centre to each of the six vertices. Work out the size of the angle of one of these triangles at the centre of the hexagon.
