Step-by-step solution for: Identifying Unknown Angles Worksheets | Geometry
Let's solve each of the problems on the worksheet step by step. The goal is to identify the unknown angles using basic geometry principles such as:
- Straight line = 180°
- Right angle = 90°
- Angles around a point = 360°
- Supplementary angles add up to 180°
- Complementary angles add up to 90°
---
We are given:
- A right angle at O between Y and Z → ∠YOZ = 90°
- X–O–Y is a straight line → 180°
So, ∠XOZ is the angle from X to Z.
Since ∠YOZ = 90°, and XOY is a straight line (180°), then:
> ∠XOZ = 180° – ∠YOZ = 180° – 90° = 90°
✔ Answer: 90°

Given:
- ∠POQ = 105°
- P–O–Q is a straight line → 180°
- So, ∠ROQ is the remaining part of the straight line.
But note: ray OR is drawn upward from O, forming an angle with OQ.
So, ∠POQ = 105°, which means the angle from P to R to Q is 105°.
But we want ∠ROQ — that’s the angle from R to O to Q, which is the same as the angle between R and Q.
Wait — actually, since ∠POQ = 105°, and P–O–Q is a straight line, then the angle between R and Q must be:
> ∠ROQ = 180° – 105° = 75°
✔ Answer: 75°
---
Given:
- Line AB is straight → 180°
- ∠DCB = 60°
- We need ∠ACD
Note: Point C is on line AB, and D is above, forming triangle-like shape.
So, ∠ACD + ∠DCB = 180° (straight line)
> ∠ACD = 180° – 60° = 120°
✔ Answer: 120°
---
Given:
- Line AB is straight → 180°
- ∠DCB = 30°
- So, ∠ACD = ?
Again, ∠ACD + ∠DCB = 180°
> ∠ACD = 180° – 30° = 150°
✔ Answer: 150°

Given:
- Line XY is straight → 180°
- ∠XQP = 135°? Wait — no, the angle shown is 135° between X–Q and Q–P?
Wait — let's look carefully.
Point Q is on line XY, and ray QP goes upward.
The angle between X–Q and Q–P is marked as 135°.
We are asked for ∠XQP — which is exactly that angle.
But wait — is it asking for the same angle or the adjacent one?
No — ∠XQP is the angle formed by points X–Q–P, so it’s the angle at Q between X and P.
And it's already labeled as 135°.
But that can't be — because if it's already labeled, why ask?
Wait — maybe I misread.
Looking again: The angle between X–Q and Q–P is 135°, and we're to find ∠XQP — which is that angle.
But perhaps the diagram shows 135°, but asks us to confirm?
Wait — no, likely the angle between X–Q and Q–P is 135°, so ∠XQP = 135°.
But that seems too easy.
Alternatively, maybe the angle not shown is what we need?
Wait — no, the label says “∠xqp =” and the diagram shows 135° at that vertex.
But in standard notation, ∠XQP means the angle at Q between X and P.
So yes, ∠XQP = 135°
But let's double-check: Is there a possibility of supplementary?
No — unless they want the other side.
But the diagram shows 135° between X–Q and Q–P.
So, ∠XQP = 135°
✔ Answer: 135°
Wait — this seems odd because usually such questions ask for missing angles.
But here, it's given.
Unless… is the 135° not ∠XQP?
Wait — let's clarify:
- Line XY is horizontal.
- Ray QP goes up-left.
- The angle between X–Q and Q–P is 135° — so yes, that’s ∠XQP.
So yes, it's 135°
✔ Answer: 135°
---
Given:
- Line PQ is straight → 180°
- ∠PTQ = 120°
- So, ∠PTS is the angle between P–T–S
But S is going upward from T.
So, the angle between P–T and T–S is 120°, as shown.
So ∠PTS = 120°
Wait — but again, it's already labeled.
But the question asks to identify the unknown angle.
But here, the angle is labeled as 120°.
Is ∠PTS the same as that?
Yes — points P–T–S form the angle.
So ∠PTS = 120°
✔ Answer: 120°
Wait — this seems suspiciously direct.
But maybe the intention is just to read the angle.
Alternatively, could it be asking for the adjacent angle?
No — ∠PTS is clearly the angle shown.
So, 120°
✔ Answer: 120°

Given:
- Line AB is straight → 180°
- ∠AYX = 15°
- We are to find ∠XYB
Points:
- Y is on AB
- Ray YX goes upward-left
- Angle between A–Y and Y–X is 15°
So, ∠AYX = 15°
Now, ∠XYB is the angle from X–Y–B
So, total straight line at Y: ∠AYX + ∠XYB = 180°
> ∠XYB = 180° – 15° = 165°
✔ Answer: 165°
---
Given:
- Line PQ is straight → 180°
- ∠POS = 100°
- We are to find ∠SOQ
So, from P to O to Q is a straight line.
Ray OS makes a 100° angle with OP.
So, ∠POS = 100°
Then, ∠SOQ is the remaining angle from S to Q.
So, ∠SOQ = 180° – 100° = 80°
✔ Answer: 80°
