Practice Angles in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

The amount of rotation between two rays that share a common endpoint, measured in degrees or radians.

Opening a door wider makes a bigger angle; a corner of a book is 90ยฐ90ยฐ.

Example 1

medium
A clock shows 4:004:00. What is the smaller angle between the hour and minute hands?

Example 2

easy
An angle measures 89โˆ˜89^\circ. Is it acute, right, or obtuse?

Example 3

hard
At what time between 3:003:00 and 4:004:00 are the clock's hands first perpendicular?

Example 4

medium
An angle is its own supplement. Find the angle.

Example 5

hard
At 9:009{:}00 the hour hand starts moving. How many degrees has it rotated by 9:409{:}40?

Example 6

easy
An angle measures 45โˆ˜45^\circ. Is it acute, right, or obtuse?

Example 7

challenge
At 3:30, what is the angle between the hour and minute hands?

Example 8

easy
A clock's hands point at 3:00. What angle do they make?

Example 9

medium
Two angles are supplementary and in the ratio 2:32:3. Find the larger angle.

Example 10

hard
The complement of an angle is 14\tfrac{1}{4} of its supplement. Find the angle.

Example 11

medium
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Alternate exterior angles measure (4x+5)โˆ˜(4x + 5)^\circ and (6xโˆ’25)โˆ˜(6x - 25)^\circ. Find each angle.

Example 12

easy
Two angles are supplementary. One measures 115ยฐ115ยฐ. Find the other.

Example 13

easy
Two angles add to 90โˆ˜90^\circ. What are they called?

Example 14

easy
Two angles together form a right angle. One is 30โˆ˜30^\circ. What is the other?

Example 15

medium
The supplement of an angle is 40โˆ˜40^\circ less than three times its complement. Find the angle.

Example 16

challenge
Two lines cross. The angles are in the ratio 1:1:1:11:1:1:1 in one figure and 2:7:2:72:7:2:7 in another. Which figure is possible, and what are its angles?

Example 17

easy
An angle is 120โˆ˜120^\circ. Acute, right, or obtuse?

Example 18

easy
How many degrees are in a straight angle?

Example 19

medium
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. One of the alternate interior angles measures 72ยฐ72ยฐ. Find all eight angles formed.

Example 20

hard
Three rays from a point divide the plane into three angles in the ratio 2:3:52:3:5. Find each angle.
