Angles - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

In a right-angled triangle, there is one angle that equals 90 degrees, and the other two angles sum up to 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore, the sum of the two non-right angles is 90 degrees

$90+90=180$

Remember that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180.

In an equilateral triangle, all sides and all angles are equal to each other.

Therefore, we will calculate as follows:

$x+x+x=180$

$3x=180$

We divide both sides by 3:

$x=60$

The unmarked angle is adjacent to an angle of 160 degrees.

Remember: the sum of adjacent angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore, the size of the unknown angle is:

$180-160=20$

Let's review the definition of adjacent angles:

Adjacent angles are angles formed where there are two straight lines that intersect. These angles are formed at the point where the intersection occurs, one next to the other, and hence their name.

Now let's review the definition of collateral angles:

Two angles formed when two or more parallel lines are intersected by a third line. The collateral angles are on the same side of the intersecting line and even are at different heights in relation to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.

Therefore, answer C is correct for this definition.

Let's remember the definition of consecutive angles:

Consecutive angles are, in fact, a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a straight line when this line crosses a pair of parallel straight lines.

These angles are on opposite levels with respect to the parallel line to which they belong.

The sum of a pair of angles on one side is one hundred eighty degrees.

Therefore, since line a is parallel to line b and according to the previous definition: the angles$\beta+\gamma=180$

are consecutive.

Given that line a is parallel to line b, the angles$\alpha_2,\beta_1$ are equal according to the definition of corresponding angles.

Also, the angles$\alpha_1,\gamma_1$are equal according to the definition of corresponding angles.

Now let's remember the definition of collateral angles:

Collateral angles are actually a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a line when it crosses a pair of parallel lines.

These angles are on opposite levels with respect to the parallel line they belong to.

The sum of a pair of angles on one side is one hundred eighty degrees.

Therefore, since line a is parallel to line b and according to the previous definition: the angles

γ1​+γ2​=180

are the collateral angles

Given that according to the definition, the vertex angles are equal to each other, it can be argued that:

$115=2$Now we can calculate the second pair of vertex angles in the same circle:

$1=3$

Since the sum of a plane angle is 180 degrees, angle 1 and angle 3 are complementary to 180 degrees and equal to 65 degrees.

We now notice that between the parallel lines there are corresponding and equal angles, and they are:

$115=4$

Since angle 4 is opposite to angle 6, it is equal to it and also equal to 65 degrees.

Another pair of alternate angles are angle 1 and angle 5.

We have proven that:$1=3=65$

Therefore, angle 5 is also equal to 65 degrees.

Since angle 7 is opposite to angle 5, it is equal to it and also equal to 115 degrees.

That is:

$115=2=4=6$

$65=1=3=5=7$

In the question, we can see that there are two pairs of parallel lines, line a and line b.

When passing another line between parallel lines, different angles are formed, which we need to know.

Angles alpha and the given angle of 104 are on different sides of the transversal line, but both are in the interior region between the two parallel lines,

This means they are alternate angles, and alternate angles are equal.

Therefore, 

Angle beta and the second given angle of 81 degrees are both on the same side of the transversal line, but each is in a different position relative to the parallel lines, one in the exterior region and one in the interior. Therefore, we can see that these are corresponding angles, and corresponding angles are equal.

Therefore,

Remember that an acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is larger than 90 degrees, and a straight angle equals 180 degrees.

Since the lines are perpendicular to each other, the marked angles are right angles each equal to 90 degrees.

Given that line a is parallel to line b, let us remind ourselves of the definition of corresponding angles between parallel lines:

Corresponding angles are angles located on the same side of the line that intersects the two parallels and are also situated at the same level with respect to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.

Corresponding angles are equal in size.

According to this definition $\alpha=\beta$and as such they are the corresponding angles.

Let's remember that vertical angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect. They are are created at the point of intersection and are opposite each other.

Remember that adjacent angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect one another.

These angles are created at the point of intersection, one adjacent to the other, and that's where their name comes from.

Adjacent angles always complement one another to one hundred and eighty degrees, meaning their sum is 180 degrees. 

We must first add the three angles to see if they equal 180 degrees:

$30+60+90=180$

The sum of the angles equals 180, therefore they can form a triangle.

First let's remember that corresponding angles can be defined as a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a transversal line that intersects two parallel lines.

Additionally, these angles are positioned at the same level relative to the parallel line to which they belong.

Alternate angles are a pair of angles that can be found on the opposite side of a line that cuts two parallel lines.

Furthermore, these angles are located on the opposite level of the corresponding line that they belong to.
