Angles: Now Try These 1

The document discusses different types of angles such as acute, obtuse, reflex, and internal and external angles. It states that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees and provides blanks to fill in the sum of internal angles for quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. The document also discusses angle theorems such as angles at a point adding to 360 degrees, angles on a straight line adding to 180 degrees, opposite angles being equal, corresponding angles being equal for parallel lines, alternate angles being equal for parallel lines, and supplementary angles adding to 180 degrees.
