Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If one angle on a straight line measures 65°, find the adjacent angle.
[2 marks]
2.
Two angles on a straight line are supplementary. One angle is 120°. What is the other angle?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a straight line with an angle of 45° and find the adjacent angle.
[3 marks]
4.
In a diagram, two angles are on a straight line with measures 80° and x°. If these are adjacent, find x.
[2 marks]
5.
A straight line has two angles: 130° and y°. Find y.
[2 marks]
6.
A pair of angles on a straight line are supplementary. If one angle is 75°, find the other.
[2 marks]
7.
A straight line forms two angles: 100° and an unknown angle. Calculate the missing angle.
[2 marks]
8.
Two angles add up to 180°. If one angle is 85°, what is the other?
[2 marks]
9.
A diagram shows a straight line with angles 60° and x°. Calculate x.
[2 marks]
10.
Real-world scenario: A road intersection forms a straight line. If the angle between the north-south road and an east-west road is 90°, and a traffic sign indicates 45°, what is the measure of the other adjacent angle?
[3 marks]
11.
Challenge: In a straight line, two angles are supplementary. The larger angle measures 3x + 10°, and the smaller measures 2x + 40°. Find x and the two angles.
[4 marks]
12.
Error analysis: A student states that angles of 70° and 120° on a straight line are both correct. Identify the mistake and correct it.
