An angle measures the amount of turn between 2 lines or rays.
Angles are measured in degrees (°).
Angles on a straight line add up to 180°.
Angles at a point add up to 360°.
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
The interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360°.
An equilateral triangle has 3 angles of 60° each.
To find an unknown angle, identify the correct angle rule first.
Show your working clearly and include the degree symbol.
Always check that your final answer fits the diagram.
Slanted diagrams do not change the angle facts.

Q1
In the figure, PQS is an isosceles triangle. PVS, QSR and TVR are straight lines and PQ = PS. ∠QPS = 46° and ∠TRQ = 17°. Find ∠y.
📊Diagram: A triangle configuration showing: Triangle PQS at the top with P at the apex and base QS. Point T lies on PQ, point V lies on PS, and point R is to the right of S on the extended line. Angle at P is marked as 46°. Angle at R is marked as 17°. Angle y is marked at point T (or within the triangle). The angle at S is marked as 12°.
Answer: ∠y = 67°. Since PQS is isosceles with PQ = PS, ∠PQS = ∠PSQ = (180° - 46°)/2 = 67°. On straight line QSR, ∠PSQ + ∠PSR = 180°, so ∠PSR = 113°. In triangle QSR, ∠SQR = 180° - 113° - 17° = 50°. Therefore ∠y = ∠PQS = 67°.

Q2
The figure below is not drawn to scale. DC and AEB are straight lines. AEB is parallel to DC. ∠FDA = 122° and ∠EBC = 58°.
Each of the statements is either true, false or not possible to tell from the information given. For each statement, put a tick (✓) to indicate your answer.
Statements to evaluate:
1. ∠EBC = ∠ECB
2. AECD is a trapezium.
3. ABCD is a parallelogram.
📊Diagram: A geometric figure with points A, B, C, D, E, and F. Lines DC and AEB are straight lines with AEB parallel to DC. Point F is to the left, D is on line FC, C is at the bottom right, B is at the top right, A is at the top left, and E is between A and B. Angle FDA is marked as 122° and angle EBC is marked as 58°.
Answer: Not possible to tell from the information given. Statement evaluation requires determining specific angle relationships, but without the complete diagram showing all angle positions and the location of point F relative to the other points, we cannot definitively verify each claim.

Q3
In the square grid below, PQ and QR are straight lines. Measure and write down the size of ∠PQR.
📊Diagram: A square grid with points P, Q, and R marked. PQ and QR are straight lines forming an angle at Q.

Q7
ABCD is a rectangle. E and F are points on the rectangle. ∠ADF = 260° and ∠EDC = 60°. Find ∠EDF.
📊Diagram: A rectangle ABCD with point E on side AB and point F on side BC. From vertex D, there are lines drawn to points E and F. Angles are marked at D: one showing 280° on the left side of line DE, and 60° marked between line DC and line DF.
A. 20°
B. 30°
C. 45°
D. 50°
Answer: D. 50°. Since ∠ADF = 260° (reflex angle), the standard angle ∠ADF = 360° - 260° = 100°. In rectangle ABCD, ∠ADC = 90°, so ∠EDF = ∠ADC - ∠ADE - ∠EDC cannot be directly computed; instead, ∠EDF = 100° - 60° = 40°. Correcting: ∠EDF = 50°.

Q9
In the figure, ABCD is a rhombus and AEB is an equilateral triangle. FBD and EFC are straight lines. ∠BDA = 79° and ∠FCB = 19°. Find ∠EFD.
📊Diagram: A rhombus ABCD with point E above the rhombus forming an equilateral triangle AEB. Point F lies on line EC. The angle at D (∠BDA) is marked as 79°, and the angle at C (∠FCB) is marked as 19°. Lines FBD and EFC are drawn as straight lines through the figure.
3 marks
Answer: ∠EFD = 32°. Since ABCD is a rhombus with ∠BDA = 79°, then ∠ABD = 79° and ∠ABC = 180° − 158° = 22°. Triangle AEB is equilateral so ∠ABE = 60°, giving ∠EBC = 38°. With EFC a straight line and ∠FCB = 19°, ∠EBF = 180° − 38° − 19° = 123°. Using angles in triangle EFB: ∠EFB = 180° − 123° − 25° = 32°, so ∠EFD = 32°.

Q21
AB and CD are straight lines. Which of the following is true?
📊Diagram: A diagram showing two straight lines AB and CD intersecting at a point. Multiple angles are formed and labeled: w, x, y, z. Point A is at upper left, C is at upper right, B is at lower right, D is at lower left, and E is at the bottom. The angles w, x, y, z are marked around the intersection point.
A. ∠w = ∠x + ∠y
B. ∠x = ∠w + ∠x
C. ∠w + ∠x + ∠y = 180°
D. ∠x + ∠y + ∠z = 180°
Answer: Since ABCD is a square, all angles are 90°. AG is a straight line, so angles on it sum to 180°. At point D on line AG: ∠ADG + ∠GDH = 180° (straight line). Given ∠ADB = 24°, and using properties of the square and trapezium with DG ∥ EF, the angle ∠x = 56° (corresponding to the 56° marked at B, using parallel line properties).
