Fascinating Fact:

Crossing roads create vertical opposite angles that are equal; if one angle is 46°, the opposite is also 46°.

In KS3 Maths, angle work focuses on key rules: angles on a straight line add to 180°, around a point to 360°, vertically opposite angles are equal, and angles in a triangle total 180°. You’ll apply these to find unknown angles, including where parallel lines are involved.

Key Terms

Acute angle: An angle smaller than 90°.
Vertically opposite angles: Equal angles formed when two straight lines cross.
Corresponding angles: Equal angles formed when a transversal crosses parallel lines; they sit in matching “corners.”

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are the essential KS3 angle facts I should remember?

Know these: straight line = 180°, around a point = 360°, triangle = 180°, vertically opposite angles are equal, and parallel-line angle pairs can be equal or supplementary.

How do I find a missing angle on a straight line?

Angles on a straight line add to 180°. Subtract the known angle from 180°. For example, if one angle is 112°, the other is 180° − 112° = 68°.

What are alternate and corresponding angles with parallel lines?

With parallel lines, alternate angles (Z-shape) are equal, and corresponding angles (F-shape) are equal. Co-interior angles (C-shape) add to 180°.
