Angle Facts

Objectives:
F Grade Express fractions of full turns in degrees
and vice versa
Recognise acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles

Angles at a point add to 360o

Angle a + b + c + d = 3600

85
75
Angle a = 360 - (85 + 75 + 80) + 80
240
= 360 - 240 = 120o
 Angles at a Point

d
c a
b

Opposite Angles are equal

Angle a + b = 1800 because they form a
straight line
Angle c + d = 1800 because they form a
straight line
Angle c + b = 1800 because they form a
straight line
Angle d + a = 1800 because they form a
straight line
So a = c and b = d
 Angles on a Line

Angle b = 180 – 70 = 110o Angle x = 180 – 35 = 145o

 Angle Facts f = 360 – (45+120+110)
f = 360 - 275 = 85o
Now do these:
110o
a 35o a = 180 – 35 = 145o
f
