Angles
Name Rules © mymathscloud
Classifications Acute Right Obtuse Reflex Zero

Less than 90° Equal to 90° More than 90° but less than 180° More than 180° but less than 360° Equal to 0°

Straight

Equal to 180°

Full

Equal to 360°

Right Angles

Angles in a right angle add to 90° and are called complementary


Straight Line
Angles

Angles on a straight line add to 180° and are called supplementary

Parallelograms
Adjacent Angles Opposite Angles

Parallel lines Parallel Lines Cut By A Transversal


Cut By A Alternate Interior Angles: Co-Interior/Same-Side Angles:
Transversal

Corresponding Angles

Don’t worry if the parallel lines are facing the other direction.

Just turn your page sideways if it helps you

Hack/Shortcut:
If we just remember the alternate interior angle (z angles) rule and the following 2 rules it is enough to work out all angles. However, you might be
asked for name the angles, so you need to know the names which will be worth 1 mark only each time.
Angles on a straight line add to 180° Opposite angles are equal

Harder Questions: © mymathscloud


• Given 2 transversals

Concentrate on
one transversal
at a time

• Given 3 parallel lines

Concentrate on

⟹
one pair at a time

• Given 2 transversals that touch and form a triangle

Do not make the mistake that the red angle is equal to the purple angle (the Z angles are only equal if they both TOUCH the parallel lines.
It can also help to look at the transversals in isolation and to extend them:

We can also use the


formula
!"#(% − ') 9:#
!"#(% − ') 9:# Each angle at the
% %
!"# − )*+,-).- 0*12, centre
We can also use the formula
!"#
!"# − )*+,-).- 0*12, $
Why can we use the second
formula? This is because the
interior and exterior angles
are straight line angles
interior + exterior = 180°

You may also need to use some angle rules:


Isosceles Triangle Isosceles Triangle Isosceles Trapezoid

You may also need to deal with multiple polygons


180(5 − 2)
= 108°
5

180(8 − 2)
= 135°
8

360 − 108 − 135 = 117°
