A

Fluency & Practice

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the missing angle at a point if four angles are 80°, 100°, 50°, and x°. Write your answer for x°.
[2 marks]
2.
If three angles at a point are 125°, 90°, and y°, find the value of y°.
[2 marks]
3.
Construct an angle that is exactly 60°, and then mark a second angle that makes the total 360° when combined with the first.
[3 marks]
4.
In a diagram, three angles at a point are 85°, 150°, and z°. Calculate z°.

B

Problem Solving & Reasoning

Answer all questions with explanations. Use the grid to show any diagrams or workings.
1.
Two angles at a point are 40° and 75°. The remaining angles are all equal. Find the measure of each of these equal angles.
[3 marks]
2.
In a diagram, five angles at a point are marked as 2x°, 3x°, 4x°, 5x°, and 6x°. Confirm that their total is 360° and find the value of x°.
[3 marks]
3.
A clock shows the hour hand at 2 o'clock. The minute hand points at 12. If the hands form an angle of 60°, what is the angle between the two hands at 2:10? Explain your reasoning.
[4 marks]
C

Real-world Applications

Answer questions based on the scenarios. Show your calculations where needed.
1.
A car's steering wheel is turned so that the angles between the spokes are 90°, 60°, and the remaining angle at the centre of the wheel. What is the measure of the remaining angle?
[2 marks]
2.
In a circular park, four paths meet at a central point forming angles of 100°, 80°, and 70°. Find the measure of the fourth angle, and explain how you determine it.
[3 marks]
D

Challenge & Extension

Attempt these advanced questions. Show detailed reasoning or calculations.
1.
Construct a diagram where four angles at a point are in the ratio 1:2:3:4. Using the grid, mark and calculate each angle.
[4 marks]
2.
The sum of three angles at a point is 250°. Two of the angles are equal, and the third is 80°. Find the measure of each of the equal angles.
[3 marks]
E

Mixed Review

Answer these questions to review your understanding of 360° around a point.
1.
If one angle at a point is 150°, what are the measures of the other angles if they are all equal?
[2 marks]
2.
Explain why the angles at a point always sum to 360°, using a real-world analogy or a simple diagram.
[4 marks]
F

Error Analysis

Review the following common mistake and correct it.
1.
A student calculates that the angles at a point are 90°, 100°, 80°, and 70° and claims the total is 340°. Identify the mistake and correct the calculation.
