Maths Quiz - Level 3-4 Shapes - Angles (Questions)

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.

Key Terms

Acute angle: An angle less than 90°.
Obtuse angle: An angle between 90° and 180°.
Reflex angle: An angle between 180° and 360°.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

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.
