Interior/Exterior angle of a Quadrilateral


  • The interior angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360°.
  • The exterior angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360°.

Angles and parallel angles.


  • When a pair of parallel lines are cut by a transversal:

1) the corresponding angles are equal,

2) the alternate angles are equal,

3) the co-interior angles are supplementary.

  • Supplementary angles are angles which sum to 180°.

Exterior angles of a triangle


The exterior angle of a triangle the sum of its interior opposite angles.

Angle sum of a triangle.


  • The angle sum of a triangle is 180°.

Angles in a line.


  • If two angles sum to 180 º they are called supplementary angles.
  • When two lines intersect, the vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • The angle sum of a straight line is 180º.
