Angles in a Triangle Worksheets - Math Monks - Free Printable

Let's solve each problem step by step. The key concept here is that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always 180°. Additionally, if an exterior angle is shown, we can use the fact that:

- An exterior angle equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
- A straight line forms a 180° angle.

We'll go through each triangle one by one.

1.

Given: 70°, 45°, find $ x^\circ $

$$
x = 180^\circ - 70^\circ - 45^\circ = 65^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 65°

Given: 82°, 35°, find $ x^\circ $

$$
x = 180^\circ - 82^\circ - 35^\circ = 63^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 63°

Given: 61°, 52°, find $ x^\circ $

Note: $ x^\circ $ is an exterior angle at the base.

First, find the interior angle adjacent to $ x^\circ $:
$$
\text{Interior angle} = 180^\circ - x^\circ
$$

But since the triangle has angles 61° and 52°, the third interior angle is:
$$
180^\circ - 61^\circ - 52^\circ = 67^\circ
$$

Now, $ x^\circ $ is the exterior angle at that vertex (adjacent to 67°), so:
$$
x = 180^\circ - 67^\circ = 113^\circ
$$

Alternatively, using exterior angle rule:
Exterior angle = sum of two non-adjacent interior angles
$$
x = 61^\circ + 52^\circ = 113^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 113°

5.

Given: 50°, and an exterior angle of 120°, find $ x^\circ $ and $ y^\circ $

The exterior angle (120°) is adjacent to $ y^\circ $, so:
$$
y = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ
$$

Now, in the triangle, angles are: $ x^\circ $, 50°, and $ y = 60^\circ $
$$
x = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 60^\circ = 70^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: $ x = 70^\circ $, $ y = 60^\circ $

6.

Given: 77°, 64°, find $ x^\circ $

$$
x = 180^\circ - 77^\circ - 64^\circ = 39^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 39°

7.

Given: 13°, 29°, find $ x^\circ $

$$
x = 180^\circ - 13^\circ - 29^\circ = 138^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 138°

8.

Given: 64°, 38°, find $ x^\circ $ and $ q^\circ $

First, find the interior angle at the top:
$$
q = 180^\circ - 64^\circ - 38^\circ = 78^\circ
$$

Now, $ x^\circ $ is the exterior angle at the same vertex as $ q $. So:
$$
x = 180^\circ - q = 180^\circ - 78^\circ = 102^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: $ x = 102^\circ $, $ q = 78^\circ $

9.

Given: 81°, 69°, find $ x^\circ $ and $ y^\circ $

First, find the interior angle at the bottom-left vertex (adjacent to $ x^\circ $):

Sum of interior angles:
$$
\text{Third angle} = 180^\circ - 81^\circ - 69^\circ = 30^\circ
$$

So, $ x^\circ $ is the exterior angle at this vertex:
$$
x = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ
$$

Now, $ y^\circ $ is the exterior angle at the top-right vertex (adjacent to 69°):
$$
y = 180^\circ - 69^\circ = 111^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: $ x = 150^\circ $, $ y = 111^\circ $

10.

Right triangle with 90°, 45°, find $ x^\circ $

$$
x = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 45^\circ = 45^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 45°

---

11.

Given: 35°, 15°, find $ x^\circ $

$$
x = 180^\circ - 35^\circ - 15^\circ = 130^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 130°

12.

Right triangle with 90°, 45°, find $ x^\circ $

Note: The right angle is at the bottom, and there's a straight line extending from the top vertex.

The triangle has:
- One angle = 90° (right angle)
- One angle = 45°
- So the third interior angle = $ 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 45^\circ = 45^\circ $

Now, $ x^\circ $ is the exterior angle at the top vertex (where the 45° angle is). So:
$$
x = 180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ
$$

✔ Answer: 135°
