- 1.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.
- 2.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.
- 3.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.
- 4.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
- 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 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.
- 7.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.
- 8.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°.
- 9.The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 10.Two of the angles in a triangle are 50° and 70°. Work out the size of the third angle.
- 11.Four angles meet at a point. Three of them measure 82°, 105° and 96°. Work out the size of the fourth angle.
- 12.A regular nonagon has 9 sides. Work out the sum of its interior angles.
- 13.A regular polygon has an interior angle of 156°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 14.Three angles lie on a straight line. They measure 38°, 95° and x°. Work out the value of x.
- 15.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.
