Right Angles
- Are 90° or a quarter turn through a circle e.g.
1) Acute:
Angle Types
- Angles can be named according to their sizes
2) Obtuse:
3) Reflex:
- Straight lines are 180°
Are angles less than 90° Are angles between 90° and 180°
Are angles between 180° and 360°
Naming Angles
- Where the rays meet (vertex) gives the middle letter of the angle name
e.g. Name the following angles
a) b)
A
B
C
ZY
X
ABC or CBA
XYZ or ZYX
Measuring Angles
e.g. Measure the following angles
a) b)
A
B
C
ABC =
43°
Make sure you read from the scale starting from 0 on the line!
ZY
X
XYZ =
141°
- When measuring reflex angles, measure smaller angle and subtract from 360°
e.g. Measure the following angle
A
B
C
ABC =
360 - 65 = 295°
Drawing Angles
e.g. Draw the following angles
a) b)ABC = 62°
XYZ = 156°
A B
C
XY
Z
- When drawing reflex angles, subtract angle from 360° and draw this new angle
e.g. Draw the following angle
a) ABC = 274°
360 - 274= 86
A B
C
Don’t forget to add an arc to show the correct angle!
Add the arc to the outside to indicate a reflex angle
Estimating Angles
- Involves guessing how big an angle is- Firstly decide whether the angle is acute, obtuse or reflex
e.g. Estimate the size of the following angles
A
B
C
45° ABC =
a) b)
ZY
X
XYZ =
220°

Adjacent Angles On A Straight Line Add To 180°
x 37°
x + 37 = 180 (adj. ’s on a str. line = 180°)- 37 - 37
x = 143°
x119°
x + 119 = 180 (adj. ’s on a str. line = 180°)- 119 - 119
x = 61°
1. Find x
2. Find x
Complementary Angles Add To 90°
When two angles make up a right angle (i.e. 48° and 42° are complementary angles)
e.g. Find x
x50°
x + 50 = 90 (complementary angles)- 50 - 50
x = 40° (therefore 40° is the complement of 50°)
Supplementary Angles Add To 180°
When two angles make up a straight angle (i.e. 125° and 55° are supplementary angles)
e.g. What angle is the supplement of 10°?
x + 10 = 180 (supplementary angles)- 10 - 10
x = 170° (therefore 170° is the supplement of 10°)
Vertically Opposite Angles Are EqualVertically opposite angles are formed by two straight lines

2. Find x in this regular pentagon
Regular means equal sides and angles
x
5x = 360 (ext. ’s of a polygon add to 360°)
÷ 5 ÷ 5 x = 72°
3. A regular polygon has exterior angles of 36°. How many sides does it have?
The number of sides = the number of angles36x = 360
÷ 36 ÷ 36 x = 10
The Sum Of The Interior Angles Of A Polygon Is (n – 2) 180
n = number of sides of a polygon
1. Find the angle sum of this regular hexagon
divide into triangles from one corner
Interior angle sum = (6 – 2) x 180
n = 6 (or 4 triangles)
(interior angle sum of a polygon)Interior angle sum = 720°
2. Find x
x
Interior angle sum = (5 – 2) x 180
n = 5 or 3 triangles
(interior angle sum of a polygon)Interior angle sum = 540°
x = 540 ÷ 5 x = 108°
Another method is to calculate an exterior angle first then use adjacent angles on a straight line to calculate interior angle
72°
Exterior angle = 72°x + 72 = 180
x = 108° (adjacent. angles on a straight line = 180°)
Perpendicular Lines- Always cross at right angles.
e.g.

AB is perpendicular to CD or AB CD
Parallel Lines- Never meet and are always the same distance apart.
e.g.A B

EAB is parallel to CD or AB ⁄⁄ CD
EF is known as a transversal

Corresponding Angles On Parallel Lines Are Equal- There are four pairs of corresponding angles between parallel lines and a transversal.
e.g. e.g. Find x
122°
x
x = 122°(Corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal)
Co-Interior Angles On Parallel Lines Add To 180- There are two pairs of co-interior angles between parallel lines and a transversal.
e.g. e.g. Find x
77°
x
x + 77 = 180 (Co-interior angles in parallel lines add to 180°)- 77 - 77
x = 103°
Remember to always add ‘on parallel lines’ with your angle statements
Bearings- Bearings are used to indicate directions- Are measured clockwise from North- Must be expressed using 3 digits (i.e. 000° to 360°)- Compass directions such as NW give directions but are not bearings
e.g. The compass points and their bearings:

Similar Triangles And Other Shapes
- One shape is similar to another if they have exactly the same shape. The ratios of the corresponding sides are therefore the same.
- Triangles are similar if they have the same angles
e.g. The following two triangles are similar. Work out the lengths x and y
6 15
20 4 x y
First calculate ratio between corresponding sides
A
B
C
F
EG
AC = 15EG 6
= 2.5
To find x we need to multiply the corresponding side by the ratio:
To find y we need to divide the corresponding side by the ratio:
x = 4 × 2.5
= 10
y = 20 ÷ 2.5
= 8(Similar Triangles) (Similar Triangles)
