Maths - Friday 3rd July - Angle Problems

We are going to finish this week with a few angle problems. You SHOULD NOT need a protractor for any of these questions, as you should be able to work them out mathematically.

Remember:

a. The angles on a straight line total 180 degrees.
b. The angles in a triangle also total 180 degrees.
c. The angles in a quadrilateral total 360 degrees.

Here are your problems:

Good luck and I will reveal the answers in a few hours.

2. Parenthesis - This is extra information usually in brackets or commas. e.g  David Beckham (aged 13)
3. Rhetorical questions - Questions designed to make the reader think. e.g. How can this be?
4. Writing in the 3rd person - Nouns/names or pronouns like he/him she/her or they are used NOT I.
