1034420finding Missing Angles Worksheet | PDF - Free Printable

To solve the missing angles in each problem, we will use fundamental geometric principles such as:

1. Sum of angles around a point: The sum of angles around a point is \(360^\circ\).
2. Sum of angles on a straight line: The sum of angles on a straight line is \(180^\circ\).
3. Sum of angles in a triangle: The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\).
4. Corresponding, alternate, and supplementary angles: These properties help when dealing with parallel lines and transversals.

Let's solve each problem step by step.

---

Problem 1:

[Image shows a straight line with an angle of \(112^\circ\) and three labeled angles \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\).]

- Step 1: The angle opposite to \(112^\circ\) is its supplement because they form a straight line.
\[
a = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ
\]
- Step 2: Angles \(b\) and \(c\) are also on the straight line, so:
\[
b = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ
\]
\[
c = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 1:
\[
a = 68^\circ, \quad b = 68^\circ, \quad c = 68^\circ
\]

Problem 2:

[Image shows a triangle with two given angles \(15^\circ\) and \(38^\circ\), and one missing angle \(a\).]

- Step 1: Use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\).
\[
a + 15^\circ + 38^\circ = 180^\circ
\]
\[
a = 180^\circ - 15^\circ - 38^\circ = 127^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 2:
\[
a = 127^\circ
\]

Problem 3:

[Image shows a point with four angles labeled \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\), with given angles \(40^\circ\) and \(70^\circ\).]

- Step 1: The sum of angles around a point is \(360^\circ\).
\[
a + b + c + d = 360^\circ
\]
- Step 2: Identify the relationships between the angles. Since \(a\) and \(d\) are vertically opposite angles, and \(b\) and \(c\) are vertically opposite angles:
\[
a = 40^\circ, \quad d = 40^\circ
\]
\[
b = 70^\circ, \quad c = 70^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 3:
\[
a = 40^\circ, \quad b = 70^\circ, \quad c = 70^\circ, \quad d = 40^\circ
\]

---

Problem 4:

[Image shows a triangle with one angle \(70^\circ\) and a straight line intersecting it, creating angles \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(d\), and \(e\).]

- Step 1: Identify the angles on the straight line:
\[
a + 70^\circ = 180^\circ \implies a = 110^\circ
\]
- Step 2: In the triangle, the sum of angles is \(180^\circ\):
\[
b + c + 70^\circ = 180^\circ \implies b + c = 110^\circ
\]
- Step 3: Since \(d\) and \(e\) are on the straight line:
\[
d + e = 180^\circ
\]
Using the properties of corresponding and alternate angles, we can deduce:
\[
b = d, \quad c = e
\]
Therefore:
\[
b = 55^\circ, \quad c = 55^\circ, \quad d = 55^\circ, \quad e = 55^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 4:
\[
a = 110^\circ, \quad b = 55^\circ, \quad c = 55^\circ, \quad d = 55^\circ, \quad e = 55^\circ
\]

---

Problem 5:

[Image shows a quadrilateral with given angles \(132^\circ\) and \(138^\circ\), and angles \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\).]

- Step 1: The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is \(360^\circ\).
\[
a + b + c + d = 360^\circ
\]
- Step 2: Identify the relationships:
\[
a = 180^\circ - 132^\circ = 48^\circ
\]
\[
d = 180^\circ - 138^\circ = 42^\circ
\]
- Step 3: Since \(b\) and \(c\) are right angles:
\[
b = 90^\circ, \quad c = 90^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 5:
\[
a = 48^\circ, \quad b = 90^\circ, \quad c = 90^\circ, \quad d = 42^\circ
\]

---

Problem 6:

[Image shows a triangle with given angles \(110^\circ\) and \(100^\circ\), and angles \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\).]

- Step 1: Use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\):
\[
a + 110^\circ + 100^\circ = 180^\circ \implies a = -30^\circ \quad (\text{This is incorrect; recheck the problem setup.})
\]
Correct interpretation: The external angle is \(25^\circ\), so:
\[
a = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ
\]
\[
b = 180^\circ - 100^\circ = 80^\circ
\]
\[
c = 25^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 6:
\[
a = 70^\circ, \quad b = 80^\circ, \quad c = 25^\circ
\]

Problem 7:

[Image shows a straight line with an angle of \(34^\circ\) and angles \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\).]

- Step 1: The angle opposite to \(34^\circ\) is its supplement:
\[
a = 180^\circ - 34^\circ = 146^\circ
\]
- Step 2: Angles \(b\) and \(c\) are also on the straight line:
\[
b = 180^\circ - 34^\circ = 146^\circ
\]
\[
c = 180^\circ - 34^\circ = 146^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 7:
\[
a = 146^\circ, \quad b = 146^\circ, \quad c = 146^\circ
\]

---

Problem 8:

[Image shows a triangle with one angle \(54^\circ\) and a straight line intersecting it, creating angles \(a\) and \(b\).]

- Step 1: Identify the angles on the straight line:
\[
a + 54^\circ = 180^\circ \implies a = 126^\circ
\]
- Step 2: In the triangle, the sum of angles is \(180^\circ\):
\[
b + 54^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \implies b = 36^\circ
\]

Answer for Problem 8:
\[
a = 126^\circ, \quad b = 36^\circ
\]
