Read through the full deck, or practise recalling each answer above.

  1. What is the sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral?

    Show answer

    360°

  2. What is the sum of the interior angles of any triangle?

    Show answer

    180°

  3. In an isosceles triangle, which angles are equal?

    Show answer

    The two base angles (the angles opposite the two equal sides).

  4. In a parallelogram, what relationship exists between opposite angles?

    Show answer

    Opposite angles are equal.

  5. Why can a triangle NOT have one reflex angle and two acute angles?

    Show answer

    A reflex angle is greater than 180°, but the sum of all three angles in a triangle must equal 180°.

  6. Why can a triangle NOT have two obtuse angles and one acute angle?

    Show answer

    Two obtuse angles would sum to more than 180°, but the sum of all three angles in a triangle must equal exactly 180°.

  7. What is the measure of a right angle?

    Show answer

    90°

  8. When two straight lines intersect, what relationship exists between vertically opposite angles?

    Show answer

    Vertically opposite angles are equal.

  9. What angles must sum to 180° along a straight line?

    Show answer

    All angles along a straight line sum to 180° (angles on a straight line are supplementary).

  10. If an isosceles triangle has one angle of 84°, what are the two possible configurations for the other angles?

    Show answer

    Either the 84° is one of the equal angles (giving 84°, 84°, 12°) or it's the unique angle (giving 84°, 48°, 48°).
