1. 81°
Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 99 = 81°.
2. 43°
Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 137 = 43°.
3. 150°
Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 30 = 150°.
4. 39°
Angles on a straight line add to 180°. 180 − 141 = 39°.
5. 27°
Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 33 − 120 = 27°.
6. 38°
Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 60 − 82 = 38°.
7. 37°
Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 90 − 53 = 37°.
8. 68°
Angles in a triangle add to 180°. 180 − 75 − 37 = 68°.
9. 144°
Sum of interior angles = (10 − 2) × 180 = 1440°. Each angle = 1440 ÷ 10 = 144°.
10. 135°
Sum of interior angles = (8 − 2) × 180 = 1080°. Each angle = 1080 ÷ 8 = 135°.
