Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the missing angle in a quadrilateral where three angles are 80°, 100°, and 70°. Show your working.
[3 marks]
2.
A quadrilateral has three angles measuring 90°, 85°, and 95°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?
[3 marks]
3.
Explain why the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is always 360°.
[4 marks]
4.
A quadrilateral has one angle of 120°. If the other three angles are equal, what are their measures? Show your calculations.
[4 marks]
5.
A student claims that a quadrilateral with angles 90°, 90°, 90°, and 90° does not have a sum of 360°. Is this true? Explain your reasoning.
[4 marks]
6.
Construct a quadrilateral where two adjacent angles are each 110°. Calculate the remaining two angles.
[4 marks]
7.
A quadrilateral has angles measuring 80°, 85°, 95°, and a missing angle. What is the missing angle? Show your working.
[3 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following reasoning: 'Since one angle is 100°, the other three must sum to 260°, so each could be 86.67°'.
[4 marks]
9.
A quadrilateral has two angles of 85° and 105°. If the other two angles are equal, find their measures.
[3 marks]
10.
A trapezium has interior angles of 70°, 110°, and two unknown angles. If the interior angles in total sum to 360°, what are the measures of the unknown angles?
[4 marks]
11.
A common misconception is that the sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral can be more than 360°. Explain why this is incorrect.
[4 marks]
