Angles on a straight line

Angles next to each other on a straight line add up to 180°.

Find the missing angle

The green angle is 125°. What is x?

125°x55°

Straight line = 180°

Step 0 of 2

Try together

Two angles on a straight line are 68° and y. Find y.

Reveal the answer

y = 180° − 68° = 112°.

Angles at a point

Angles all the way around a point add up to 360°.

Find the missing angle

Two angles are 110° and 130°. What is x?

110°130°x120°

Around a point = 360°

Step 0 of 2

Try together

Angles of 90°, 145° and z meet around a point. Find z.

Reveal the answer

z = 360° − 90° − 145° = 125°.

Vertically opposite angles

When two straight lines cross, opposite angles are equal.

Find the missing angle

The top angle is 70°. What is x?

70°x70°

Opposite angles are equal

Step 0 of 2

Try together

Two lines cross. One angle is 48°. Find the angle directly opposite it.

Reveal the answer
