Angle A and angle B are supplementary. Angle A is 4 times angle B. What is angle A?
Answer: 144°
A + B = 180° and A = 4B → 4B + B = 180° → B = 36°; A = 144°.
Triangle ABC has angle A = 50° and the exterior angle at B is 110°. What is angle C?
Answer: 60°
Exterior angle = sum of remote interior angles: 110° = 50° + C → C = 60°.
A transversal makes a 55° angle with parallel line p. What is the size of the co-interior angle on parallel line q on the same side?
Answer: 125°
Co-interior angles are supplementary: 180° − 55° = 125°.
In a triangle, two sides are 9 cm and 13 cm. Which of the following CANNOT be the third side?
Answer: 22 cm
Triangle inequality: third side must be less than 9+13=22 and more than 13−9=4; 22 ≥ 22, which fails strict inequality.
In similar triangles KLM and NOP, angle K = 48° and angle L = 77°. What is angle O?
Answer: 77°
Similar triangles have equal corresponding angles; angle O corresponds to angle L = 77°.
A straight line AB has point C on it such that angle ACD = 125°. What is angle BCD?
Answer: 55°
Angles ACD and BCD are a linear pair: angle BCD = 180° − 125° = 55°.
Parallel lines j and k are cut by transversal t. The alternate interior angles are (9x − 3)° and (7x + 11)°. What is x?
Answer: 7
Alternate interior angles are equal: 9x − 3 = 7x + 11 → 2x = 14 → x = 7.
