  1. 1. 66°

    Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 114 = 66°.

  2. 2. 96°

    Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 84 = 96°.

  3. 3. 53°

    Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 127 = 53°.

  4. 4. 74°

    Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 106 = 74°.

  5. 5. 128°

    Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 29 − 23 = 128°.

  6. 6. 115°

    Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 38 − 27 = 115°.

  7. 7. 127°

    Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 20 − 33 = 127°.

  8. 8. 51°

    Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 67 − 62 = 51°.

  9. 9. 140°

    Sum of interior angles = (9 − 2) × 180 = 1260°. Each angle = 1260 ÷ 9 = 140°.

  10. 10. 128.57°

    Sum of interior angles = (7 − 2) × 180 = 900°. Each angle = 900 ÷ 7 = 128.57°.

  11. 11. 120°

    Sum of interior angles = (6 − 2) × 180 = 720°. Each angle = 720 ÷ 6 = 120°.

  12. 12. 108°

    Sum of interior angles = (5 − 2) × 180 = 540°. Each angle = 540 ÷ 5 = 108°.

Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Reads the wrong scale on a protractor.

    Correction: Start from the 0 on the arm you are measuring from.

  • Uses 360° for a triangle.

    Correction: Triangle = 180°, quadrilateral = 360°.

Teacher tips

  • · Estimate the angle type before measuring.

Parent tips

  • · Spot right angles around the house.

Real-life applications

  • · Ramps, clock hands, building and design.
