1. Angle Facts
Three things you should Learn about Angle Facts:
1) What each of the facts say
2) How to spot them
3) How to show you are using angle facts in your answers
And if you can do all these, then its goodbye to another topic off our list!
How to spot it: Find any continuous straight line, with another straight line joining it or
cutting across it
How to spot it: If you have a collection of lines all crossing at one point, then its time to use
this rule!
How to spot it: Find any type of triangle (equilateral, isosceles, right-angled, or scalene) and
all the angles inside will add up to 1800
How to spot it: Find any 4 sided shape (square, rectangle, trapezium, kite, etc.) and the inside
angles will add up to 3600
How to spot it: Find two continuous straight lines crossing at a point. The pairs of angles
opposite each other will be equal
Note: Using Fact 2, all the angles around that point will add up to 3600
How to spot it: Look for the F shape, the angles underneath the arms of the F are equal
Note: The arms of the F must definitely be Parallel lines!
How to spot it: Look for the Z shape, the angles inside the Z are equal
Note: The top and bottom of the Z must be Parallel Lines!
How to spot it: Look for the C shape, the angles underneath the top and bottom of the C add
up to 1800
Note: The top and bottom of the C must definitely be Parallel lines!
Example 1
a = 180 56 = 1240
(Fact 1 angles on a straight line)
b = 560
(Fact 5 opposite angles)
c = 360 56 124 56 = 1240
(Fact 2 angles around a point)
Example 2
d = 1180
(Fact 5 opposite angles)
e = 180 118 = 620
(Fact 1 angles on a straight line)
f = 1180
(Fact 6 corresponding angles)
g = 180 118 = 620
(Fact 1 angles on a straight line)
Example 3
p = 510
(Fact 6 corresponding angles)
To work out q:
= 180 51 = 1290 (Fact 1 angles on a straight line)
= 180 51 - 68 = 610 (Fact 3 angles in a triangle)
q = 360 51 129 61 = 1190
(Fact 4 angles in a quadrilateral)
