Angle Properties 1.

Reminder

We measure the amount of turn in degrees. One full turn is 360˚. Half a turn is 180˚.
Acute angles are less than 90˚.
Obtuse angles are greater than 90˚ and less than 180˚.
Reflex angles are greater than 180 ˚and less than 360˚. Exterior

Interior angles are inside the shape.
If one side of a shape is extended outwards,
this makes an exterior angle. Interior Exterior

Angle Notation.
B
When describing a triangle the vertices are
labelled using CAPITAL letters. c a
The sides can be described using lower case
letters of the angle opposite it. A C
b
The angle marked can be written as ∠ BAC or BÂC.

A. Angles on a Straight Line.

Angles on a straight line add up to 180˚.

E.g. From the diagram find x.

x˚ + 117˚ = 180˚ (Angles on a straight line)

x˚ 117˚ x˚ = 63˚.

Find the size of the angles marked by letters in each diagram.

With each angle found, give a reason. (Diagrams not to scale).

 B. Vertically Opposite Angles.

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

To show this draw out 2 lines that cross (intersect). Measure both sets of vertically opposite
angles with a protractor .Vertically opposite angles are equal.
E.g. From the diagram find x and y.
x˚ = 40˚ (Vertically opposite angles)
y˚
40˚ x˚
y˚ + 40˚ = 180˚ (Angles on a straight line)
y˚ = 140˚.

C. Angles at a Point.

The angles that meet at a point add up to 360˚.

E.g. From the diagram find u.

u˚ + 90˚ + 100˚ + 75˚ = 360˚ (Angles at a point)

75˚ u˚ + 265˚ = 360˚
u˚ 100˚ u˚ = 95˚
