You can use the sum of the angles and your knowledge of special triangles and quadrilaterals to calculate unknown angles.
Slide 4 - Slide
Calculating angles
Calculate the size of angle C.
Slide 5 - Slide
What size is angle C?
A
∠C=360−82−60=218°
B
∠C=82+60=142°
C
∠C=180−82−60=38°
D
∠C=3(82+60)=37°
Slide 6 - Quiz
Calculating angles

Slide 7 - Slide
Calculating angles
Quadrilateral DEFG is a rhombus. Calculate the size of angle G.
Slide 8 - Slide
What size is angle G?
A
∠G=245°
B
∠G=115°
C
∠G=65°
D
∠G=57.5°
Slide 9 - Quiz
Calculating angles
Quadrilateral DEFG is a rhombus The angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360° A rhombus has rotation and reflection symmetry, therefore the opposite angles are equal.
∠D=∠F=115°
∠G=∠E=2(360−115−115)=2130=65°

Equal angles in triangle and quadrilaterals
Isosceles triangle: 2 angles (base angles) are the same size Equilateral triangle: all 3 angles are the same size (60°) Rhombus/Parallelogram: opposite angles are equal Kite: 2 angles are the same size (on either side of the axis of symmetry) Square/Rectangle: all 4 angles are the same size (90°)
