Level 1 · Warm-up

1 Two straight lines cross. One angle is 60°. What is the angle opposite it?60°?
Show worked solution
It is also 60°.
2 Two straight lines cross. One angle is 70°. Write the angle opposite it, and the angle beside it.70°besideopposite
Show worked solution
Opposite 70°, beside 110°.
3 Two straight lines cross. One angle is 110°. How many degrees is the angle beside it on the straight line?
Show worked solution
70°.

Level 2 · Core

4 Two straight lines cross. One angle is 130°. What is the angle beside it?130°?
Show worked solution
50°.
5 Two straight lines cross, making an angle of 55°. Write the four angles in order round the crossing, starting from the 55°.55°bcd
Show worked solution
55°, 125°, 55°, 125°. They add to 360 ✓.
6 Two straight lines cross. Three of the four angles are 40°, 140° and 40°. How many degrees is the fourth?
Show worked solution
140°.

Level 3 · Challenge

7 Two straight lines cross. One of the angles is 65°.65°bcd1  c = 65°.
2  b = 115°.
3  b = 65°.
Which statements are correct?
Show worked solution
c is opposite so 65° (1 ✓); b = 180 − 65 = 115° (2 ✓), not 65° (3 ✗). 1 and 2.
8 Angles a, b and c sit on a straight line, with a = 40° and b = 110°. The angle opposite a, across the crossing point, is called d.abcd
Show worked solution
c = 30°; d is opposite a, so d = 40°.
9 Two straight lines cross so that all four angles are equal. How many degrees is each angle?
Show worked solution
90° — the lines are perpendicular.
