  1. Bo measures a paper triangle. Two of its angles are 53° and 39°. The sketch writes 180° beside the triangle. What is the third angle?

  2. Esme measures a triangular tent flap. Two of its angles are 35° and 73°. The sketch writes 180° beside the triangle. What is the third angle?

  3. Jun measures a triangular kite wing. Two of its angles are 62° and 64°. The sketch writes 180° beside the triangle. What is the third angle?

  4. Kira draws triangle CDF and extends side CD past corner D. The inside angle at D is 64°. The sketch writes 180° along the straight line. How many degrees is the outside angle at D?

  5. Noah draws triangle WYC and extends side WY past corner Y. The inside angle at Y is 85°. The sketch writes 180° along the straight line. How many degrees is the outside angle at Y?

  6. Pia draws triangle SUV and extends side SU past corner U. Angle S is 42° and angle V is 58°. How many degrees is the outside angle at U?

  7. Ren draws triangle WYC and extends side WY past corner Y. Angle W is 36° and angle C is 49°. How many degrees is the outside angle at Y?

  8. Zee draws triangle HQS and extends side HQ past corner Q. Angle H is 44° and angle S is 71°. How many degrees is the outside angle at Q?

  9. Ari cuts three copies of a 50°-60°-70° triangle and puts the three different corners side by side along a ruler. What do the three corners make together?

    • A square corner: 90°
    • A full turn around a point: 360°
    • A straight line: 180°
  10. Bo cuts three copies of a 35°-55°-90° triangle and puts the three different corners side by side along a ruler. What do the three corners make together?

    Use the picture in question 9.

    • A straight line: 180°
    • A square corner, like a book corner: 90°
    • A full turn: 360°
