Types of Angles A reflex angle is more than 180° A right angle equals 90° 90 ° An acute angle is less than 90° An obtuse angle is more than 90 ° but less than 180°
b b a a c b a d c b a Angle Properties Angles at a point add to 360° a + b + c + d = 360° Angles on a straight line add to 180°. a + b + c = 180° Vertically opposite angles are equal.
d d c c b b a a Parallel Lines Alternate angles are equal. Corresponding angles are equal. f e Same side Interior angles add to 180°. e + f = 180°
Triangles c a b The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180° a + b + c = 180° Equilateral triangles have 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles. a a Isosceles triangles have 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles. 60°
Exterior angles of a triangle The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles. interior opposite angles exterior angle A B C D i.e. ACD = ABC + BAC

Quadrilaterals p + q + r + s = 360° It can be split into 2 triangles. A quadrilateral has 4 sides. The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral = 2 x 180° = 360°. p q r s
Interior angles of a polygon with n sides add to (n – 2)180°. p q r s t p + q + r + s + t = 540° Interior angles of polygons The sum of the interior angles of any pentagon = 3 x 180° = 540° A pentagon has 5 sides. It can be split into 3 triangles.
b Exterior angles of a polygon Exterior angles of a polygon add to 360°. At each vertex:interior angle + exterior angle = 180° a c e a + b + c + d + e = 360° d
