- 1.Two straight lines cross at a point. Which statement about a pair of vertically opposite angles is always true?
- 2.Two of the angles in a triangle are 50° and 70°. Work out the size of the third angle.
- 3.At a point on a straight line, two angles are formed. One of them is 63°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 4.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.
- 5.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.
- 6.A regular polygon has an interior angle of 156°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 7.The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 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.Two angles are complementary. One of them is 35°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 10.In triangle ABC, angle A is 2x°, angle B is 3x° and angle C is 4x°. Work out the size of angle B.
- 11.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°.
- 12.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
- 13.Four angles meet at a point. Three of them measure 82°, 105° and 96°. Work out the size of the fourth angle.
- 14.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.
- 15.Three angles lie on a straight line. They measure 38°, 95° and x°. Work out the value of x.
