Angle facts underpin almost every shape question: vertically opposite angles, angles on a straight line, and angles around a point. The handout drills recognition and multi-step reasoning; the answers PDF shows the marking-style layout.

Key learning points

Angles on a straight line sum to $180^\circ$ ; around a point to $360^\circ$ .
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
In a triangle, interior angles sum to $180^\circ$ ; exterior angle equals the sum of the two remote interiors.
Parallel lines: corresponding equal, alternate equal, co-interior sum to $180^\circ$ .

Worked example 1 — Straight line

Angles on a straight line: $x$ and $65^\circ$ . Find $x$ .

Working

x=180-65=115

Sum to $180^\circ$ .

Worked example 2 — Around a point

Angles $x$ , $90^\circ$ , $120^\circ$ around a point. Find $x$ .

Working

x=360-90-120=150

Sum to $360^\circ$ .

Worked example 3 — Triangle sum

Triangle angles $50^\circ$ , $60^\circ$ , $x$ . Find $x$ .

Working

x=70

Sum to $180^\circ$ .

Worked example 4 — Parallel lines

Alternate angle to $72^\circ$ is $x$ . Find $x$ .

Working

x=72

Alternate angles are equal.

Worked example 5 — Co-interior

Co-interior angle with $115^\circ$ on parallel lines. Find $x$ .

Working

x=180-115=65

Co-interior angles on parallel lines sum to $180^\circ$ .
