Level 3-4 Shapes - Angles

Angles are all around us. Learn to name, measure, and calculate angles, including straight lines, triangles, and at a point, using a protractor and angle facts.

Fascinating Fact:

When you look up at a tall building, the angle between your line of sight and the ground is called the angle of elevation.

In KS3 Maths, you will classify, measure, and calculate angles. Use a protractor to read degrees, apply angle sums on straight lines and in triangles, and use facts around a point to find missing angles.

  • Acute angle: An angle less than 90°.
  • Obtuse angle: An angle between 90° and 180°.
  • Reflex angle: An angle between 180° and 360°.
What are the main types of angles in KS3?

Acute is less than 90°, right angle is 90°, obtuse is between 90° and 180°, straight is 180°, reflex is between 180° and 360°, and a full turn is 360°.

How do you measure an angle with a protractor?

Place the protractor’s centre on the vertex and align the baseline with one arm. Start at 0 on the correct scale, then read the mark where the other arm crosses.

What angle facts help find missing angles?

Angles on a straight line add to 180°. Angles around a point add to 360°. Angles in a triangle add to 180°. Use these to calculate unknowns.

1 .
An angle that is between 90o and 180o is a(n) .......
acute angle
obtuse angle
reflex angle
right angle
Think of obtuse angles as 'blunt' and acute angles as 'sharp'
2 .
An angle that is between 0o and 90o is a(n) .......
acute angle
obtuse angle
reflex angle
right angle
Think of obtuse angles as 'blunt' and acute angles as 'sharp'
3 .
Two interior angles in a triangle are 35o and 55o. What is the 3rd angle?
75o
85o
90o
95o
Take 35 and 55 from 180 to find the answer
4 .
The three interior angles in a triangle add up to what?
90o
180o
270o
360o
An equilateral triangle has 3 interior angles each measuring 60 degrees each (3 x 60 = 180)
5 .
An angle that is between 180o and 360o is a(n) .......
acute angle
obtuse angle
reflex angle
right angle
Every internal angle has a corresponding reflex angle. Together they add up to 360o
6 .
Each internal angle of a regular pentagon is 108o. What is the total number of internal degrees?
180o
360o
540o
720o
Pentagons have 5 internal angles so just multiply 108o x 5
7 .
A circle is divided into a number of parts or degrees. How many are there?
90o
180o
270o
360o
The four interior angles of a quadrilateral also add up to 360o
8 .
An angle that is 90o is a(n) .......
acute angle
obtuse angle
reflex angle
right angle
These are found in squares and other rectangles
9 .
Angles on a straight line add up to what?
90o
180o
270o
360o
A straight line is half a circle
10 .
The internal angles of a regular hexagon add up to 720o. How many degrees is each one?
60o
90o
120o
150o
There are six internal angles in a hexagon. A regular hexagon has six equal angles
