What is a revolution?
Answer 1
360 degree angle.
360 degree angle.
How are vertically opposite angles formed?
Answer 2
Where two lines intersect they form.
What is a vertex?
Answer 3
A corner. They can be shown using a dot.
What are perpendicular lines?
Answer 4
Lines that meet at 90 degrees. Lines that meet at 90 degrees.
What is an adjacent angles?
Answer 5
Angles that are side by side and share a vertex and an arm.
Name all the different kinds of angles according to size in order from smallest to largest.
Acute angle
Right angle
Obtuse angle
Straight angle
Reflex angle
Revolution angle
What are parallel lines?
Lines which never meet.
Name the difference between complementary angles and supplementary angles.
Answer 8
Complementary angles are angles which add to 90 degrees. Supplementary angles are angles which add to 180 degrees.
Question 9
Identify angle 'a' and use an equation to represent this.
Answer 9
A=60 degrees
Question 10
Name each kind of angle associated with parallel lines, and a trick to remember each one.
Corresponding angles: look for an "F" shape. They are angles which are the same.
Alternate angles: look for a "Z" shape. They are angles which are the same.
Co-interior angles: look for a "C" shape. They are angles which are different, and add to 180 degrees.
Can the shapes which show angles in parallel lines be backwards?
Yes, they go both ways.
What is a scalene triangle and how is it marked?
Answer 12
A scalene triangle is a triangle with 3 different angles and 3 different side lengths. It is marked using different lines on each side and different angle signs, which indicate varying angle size and line length.
What is an equilateral triangle and how is it marked?
Answer 13
An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all 3 sides and angles equal. It is marked using the same angle markings for each angle and the same singular line across each side.
What is an isosceles triangle and how is it marked?
Answer 14
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles. It is marked using 2 of the same angle markings, and 1 different, and two of the same double line markings on the side, and one singular line marking across the uneven side.
How do you find an unknown exterior angle on a triangle?
You add the two interior angles furthest away from the triangle.You add the two interior angles furthest away from the triangle.
