Angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360°

Examples – calculate the missing angles Angles add up to 360° 100 + 70 + 30 + d = 360 200 + d = 360 360 – 200 = d 4 equal sides 2 sets of equal sides 4 equal sides 2 sets of equal sides d= 160° 4 right angles 4 right angles 2 sets of parallel sides 2 sets of parallel sides 2 sets of parallel 2 sets of parallel sides 2 pairs of equal angles 2 pairs of equal angles sides 2 lines of symmetry 2 lines of symmetry 0 lines of symmetry 4 lines of symmetry – opposite angles are equal g = 50° Using angles in parallel lines 50 + f = 180° (co-interior angles) f = 180 – 50 f = 130° Interior and Exterior angles

Interior + Exterior angle add up to 180° 1 set of parallel 1 set of equal sides 2 sets of equal sides 2 sets of equal sides sides 1 set of parallel sides 0 parallel sides 0 parallel sides Tip – the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior 0 lines of symmetry 2 pairs of equal 1 pair of equal angles 1 pair of equal angles These two angles angles at the other two vertices angles 1 line of symmetry 1 line of symmetry add up to exterior 1 line of symmetry angle. In this example = 150°
