Examples with solutions for Sum and Difference of Angles: Generate a random angle

Exercise #1

What is the size of the missing angle?

80

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the size of the missing angle, we will use the property that the sum of angles on a straight line is 180180^\circ. Given that one angle is 8080^\circ, we can calculate the missing angle using the following steps:

  • Step 1: Recognize that the given angle α=80\alpha = 80^\circ and the missing angle β\beta form a straight line.
  • Step 2: Use the angle sum property for a straight line: α+β=180 \alpha + \beta = 180^\circ
  • Step 3: Substitute the known value: 80+β=180 80^\circ + \beta = 180^\circ
  • Step 4: Solve for the missing angle β\beta: β=18080=100 \beta = 180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ

Therefore, the size of the missing angle is 100100^\circ.

Answer

100°

AAABBBCCC6050

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to calculate the value of angle ABC, we must calculate the sum of all the given angles.

That is:

ABC=60+50 ABC=60+50

ABC=110 ABC=110

Answer

110

Exercise #4

Calculate the size of the unmarked angle:

160

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The unmarked angle is adjacent to an angle of 160 degrees.

Remember: the sum of adjacent angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore, the size of the unknown angle is:

180160=20 180-160=20

Answer

20

Exercise #5

What is the size of angle ABC?

AAABBBCCC701820

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to calculate the value of angle ABC, we will begin by calculating the sum of all the given angles.

That is:

ABC=70+20+18 ABC=70+20+18

ABC=108 ABC=108

Answer

108

Exercise #6

Calculate the value of the angle X.

XXX4145

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will apply the triangle sum theorem:

  • Step 1: Identify the triangle formed by the known angles and the unknown angle X X .
  • Step 2: Use the triangle angle sum property which states: The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 180^\circ .
  • Step 3: The known angles in the problem are 41 41^\circ and 45 45^\circ .

Now, let's complete the steps:

Step 1: The angles presented form a triangle involving the angles 41 41^\circ , 45 45^\circ , and X X .
Step 2: Apply the triangle angle sum theorem: 41+45+X=180 41^\circ + 45^\circ + X = 180^\circ .
Step 3: Simplifying this we get:

41+45+X=180 41 + 45 + X = 180

86+X=180 86 + X = 180

Solve for X X :

X=18086 X = 180 - 86

X=94 X = 94

Therefore, the value of angle X X is 94 94^\circ .

Answer

94
