Lines and Angles

Angles on a line, around a point, complementary and vertically opposite angles — with an interactive exercise.

Angles on a straight line add up to $180°$; angles around a point add up to $360°$.

Complementary angles add to $90°$; vertically opposite angles are equal. Example: if one angle on a straight line is $110°$, the other is $180° - 110° = 70°$.

Remember

  • Straight line $= 180°$ · Around a point $= 360°$.
  • Complementary $= 90°$ · Vertically opposite angles are equal.
