4. Angles
Angles 1. A whole turn
Angles at a point add up to 360° 53° + 80° + 140° + 87° = 360°
2. A quarter of a turn
Right angle = 90◦

5. Obtuse Angles
Obtuse angles are larger than 90째 but smaller than 180째
Reflex Angles
Angles larger than 180째 (straight line) are called reflex angles.

Drawing angles This is a protractor; it helps you measure angles, in degrees:
Example: Construct and angle of 50°
Step 1: Draw a sketch
50â—Ś

4. Angles
Step2: Draw a straight line
Step 3: Put the centre of the protractor on the mark with the start line and use a protractor and measure an angle of 50째
Step 3: Using a ruler draw a straight line.

4. Angles
Parallel lines Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart. They are called "equidistant", and will never meet.
Non-Parallel lines

4. Angles
Angle calculations Angles at a point add up to 360°
Adjacent angles
Angles on a straight line are called adjacent angles and add up to 180° Angles on a straight line add up to 180◦

4. Angles
Corresponding angles When two lines are crossed by another line (called the Transversal): Corresponding Angles are equal
Alternate angles (Angles found in a Z-shaped figure)
Angles are equal. 13
4. Angles
Vertically opposite angles
Angles a and c are equal and also d and b are equal and are called vertically opposite angles. https://quizlet.com/89005695/scatter https://quizlet.com/89006216/learn
Example: Find angles a and b
We can use the fact that angles around a point add up to 360° Therefore, angle a is 360° - 270° = 90° Angle a = 90° Angle b = 360° -180° - 30° = 150°
Angle b = 150° 14
4. Angles
Example: Given the diagram below, determine the values of the angles b, c, d, e, f, g and h. Give angle facts.
Step 1: b = 180°-60°=120° (adj angles on a straight line) Step 2: b and c are equal. (vertically opposite angles). Therefore, c = b = 120° Step 3: d and 60° are equal (vertically opposite angles). Therefore, d = 60° Step 4: d and e are equal. (alternate angles). Therefore, e = d = 60° Step 5: b and f are equal (corresponding angles). Therefore, b = f=60° Step 6: g and f are equal ( vertically opposite angles). Therefore, g = f = 120° Step 7: h and d are equal (corresponding angles). Therefore, h = d = 60° 15
