An angle is formed when two lines or rays intersect at a vertex. Measuring angles with a protractor on a scale diagram is one way to find the size of unknown angles., however, a more efficient method is to use known angle facts when finding missing angles or calculating angles in 2D shape problems.Â
Angles around a point, or angles in a full turn, sum to 360°. So if, for example, we know that three angles ‘a’, ’b’ and ‘c’ lie around a point, and we know that angle ’a’ is a right angle, and we also know the size of angle ‘b’, we can find the size of angle ‘c’ by subtracting angle ‘b’ from 270°.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.
