Instructions: State the geometric property you use for each step. Show all calculations clearly. Include units (degrees) in every answer.

Section A: Classifying Angles (5 marks)

Classify each angle as acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex or revolution:

  1. 47°47° (1)
  2. 90°90° (1)
  3. 135°135° (1)
  4. 180°180° (1)
  5. 210°210° (1)

Section B: Angle Relationships (6 marks)

  1. Two angles are supplementary. One angle is 3x+10°3x + 10° and the other is 2x−5°2x - 5°. Find the value of xx and both angles. (3)

  2. Two angles are vertically opposite. One angle is 4x−20°4x - 20° and the other is 2x+40°2x + 40°. Find xx and the size of both angles. (3)

Section C: Triangles (5 marks)

  1. Can a triangle have angles 60°60°, 80°80° and 50°50°? Show your reasoning. (2)

  2. An isosceles triangle has one angle of 40°40°. Find the sizes of the other two angles. Show ALL possible solutions. (3)

Section D: Quadrilaterals (4 marks)

In a rhombus, one angle is 65°65°. Find the sizes of all four angles. Give a reason for each answer.
