An angle is formed when two line segments or rays intersect at a vertex and are typically measured in degrees using a protractor. We classify angles based on their size. The different types of angle required at GCSE are acute, obtuse, reflex and right angle.Â
Â
Angle facts are useful for finding missing angles in geometry problems. The basic angle facts used most frequently are: angles in a triangle sum to 180°, angles in a quadrilateral sum to 360°, angles on a straight line sum to 180° and angles around a point sum to 360°.
There are some additional angle properties that are useful when finding unknown angles in 2D shapes. For example, the base angles in an isosceles triangle are equal, as are opposite angles in a parallelogram.Â
Looking forward, students can then progress to additional angles rules worksheets and other geometry worksheets, for example an angles in polygons worksheet or volume and surface area of spheres worksheet.
