Geometry: Equations, Angles and Area

Worksheet illustration

Reference and angle equations

Learning focus: AC9M7M01, AC9M7M04, AC9M7M05, AC9M8M01 and AC9M8SP01.

Instructions: Write an equation before solving. Show all working and give a reason for angle answers. Add a diagram where it helps.

Formula reference

Angles on a straight line: a + b = 180°

Angles around a point: sum = 360°

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Triangle angle sum: a + b + c = 180°

Polygon interior angle sum: (n − 2) × 180°

Rectangle: A = lw and P = 2l + 2w

Triangle: A = ½bh

Parallelogram: A = bh

Similarity: k = image length ÷ original length; image length = k × original length; area scale factor = k²

1. Core: Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A corresponding angle is 68°. Find x and state the angle rule used.
2. Core: Angles on a straight line are (3x + 20)° and (2x + 10)°. Write an equation, find x and calculate both angles.
3. Core: Vertically opposite angles are (4x + 8)° and (6x − 32)°. Write an equation, find x and the angle size.
4. Extension: Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Alternate interior angles are (3x + 15)° and (5x − 25)°. Find x and the angle size. Give a reason.

Answer key

1. Equation: x = 68°. Answer: x = 68°. Reason: corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal.

2. Equation: (3x + 20) + (2x + 10) = 180; 5x + 30 = 180; x = 30. Angles: 110° and 70°.

3. Equation: 4x + 8 = 6x − 32; 40 = 2x; x = 20. Angle: 88°. Reason: vertically opposite angles are equal.

4. Equation: 3x + 15 = 5x − 25; 40 = 2x; x = 20. Angle: 75°. Reason: alternate interior angles on parallel lines are equal.

5. Equation: 52 + 67 + x = 180. Therefore x = 61°.

6. Equation: 44 + x + x = 180; 2x = 136; x = 68°. Each base angle is 68°.

7. Equation: 90 + 110 + 85 + x = 360. Therefore x = 75°.

8. Sum = (6 − 2) × 180 = 720°. Each angle = 720 ÷ 6 = 120°.

9. Area: A = 8.5 × 4 = 34 m². Perimeter: P = 2(8.5) + 2(4) = 25 m.

10. A = ½ × 12 × 7 = 42 cm².

11. A = 9.2 × 5 = 46 m².

12. Area = 10 × 8 − 4 × 3 = 80 − 12 = 68 m². Perimeter = 10 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 36 m.

13. Enlarged length = 1.5 × 8 = 12 km.

14. Yes. The triangles are congruent by SSS because all three corresponding side lengths are equal.

15. Equation: ((n − 2) × 180) ÷ n = 150. Thus 180n − 360 = 150n, so 30n = 360 and n = 12. Perimeter = 12 × 3.5 = 42 m.
