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, especially:
- Angles on a straight line add up to
180°
- A right angle is
90°
- Angles around a point add up to
360°
- Vertically opposite angles are equal

1. ∠XOZ = ?
We have:
- Line XY is horizontal.
- OZ is vertical and forms a 90° angle with OY (right angle symbol).
- So, ∠YOZ = 90°
- Since XOY is a straight line, ∠XOY = 180°
- Therefore, ∠XOZ = 180° – ∠YOZ = 180° – 90° =
90°
✔ Answer: 90°
---
2. ∠ROQ = ?
Given:
- Line PQ is straight → ∠POQ = 180°
- ∠POR = 105°
- We need ∠ROQ
So:
∠ROQ = 180° – ∠POR = 180° – 105° =
75°
✔ Answer: 75°
---
3. ∠ACD = ?
Given:
- Line AB is straight → ∠ACB = 180°
- ∠DCB = 60°
- So, ∠ACD = 180° – 60° =
120°
✔ Answer: 120°
---
4. ∠ACD = ?
Given:
- Line AB is straight → ∠ACB = 180°
- ∠DCB = 30°
- So, ∠ACD = 180° – 30° =
150°
✔ Answer: 150°
---
5. ∠XQP = ?
Given:
- Line XY is straight → ∠XQY = 180°
- ∠PQY = 135°
- So, ∠XQP = 180° – 135° =
45°
✔ Answer: 45°
---
6. ∠PTS = ?
Given:
- Line PQ is straight → ∠PTQ = 180°
- ∠PTQ = 120° (angle between PT and TQ)
- So, ∠PTS = 180° – 120° =
60°
✔ Answer: 60°
---
7. ∠XYB = ?
Given:
- Line AB is straight → ∠AYB = 180°
- ∠AYX = 15°
- So, ∠XYB = 180° – 15° =
165°
✔ Answer: 165°
---
8. ∠SOQ = ?
Given:
- Line PQ is straight → ∠POQ = 180°
- ∠POS = 100°
- So, ∠SOQ = 180° – 100° =
80°
✔ Answer: 80°
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. ∠XOZ =
90°
2. ∠ROQ =
75°
3. ∠ACD =
120°
4. ∠ACD =
150°
5. ∠XQP =
45°
6. ∠PTS =
60°
7. ∠XYB =
165°
8. ∠SOQ =
80°

🔍 Explanation Summary:
All these problems involve
angles on a straight line, which always sum to
180°. The key idea is:
> If two angles form a straight line, their sum is 180°.
So, if one angle is given, subtract it from 180° to find the other.
Also, in problem 1, we used the fact that a
right angle is 90°, and since X–O–Y is a straight line, and Z is perpendicular to Y, then ∠XOZ must also be 90°.
