Solve Mixed Angle Problems

In this activity, we will calculate missing angles using different angle rules.

Let's recap the rules first!

 

 

Recap - Make a note of these!

 

Angles at a point = 360^o

Angles on a straight line = 180^o

Angles in a triangle = 180^o

Angles on parallel lines - Z shape-  angles are equal -  alternate angles

Angles on parallel lines - F shape-  angles are equal -  corresponding angles

Angles on parallel lines - C shape-  angles add up to 180^o -  co-interior angles

 

One more!

 

Vertically opposite angles:

This is when two lines form a cross X

The opposite angles are equal

 

 

You can see from the diagram that if A was 60^o the opposite A would be 60^o too.

Likewise, if B is 120^o the other B is too.

 

Also, A and B form a straight line. (you can see below)

 

 

So, if A = 60^o

B = 180 - 60 =120^o
