Basic Angle Properties

Angles around a point sum to 360°.
Angles on a straight line sum to 180°.
Vertically opposite angles are equal when two lines intersect.
Interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°.
Interior angles of a quadrilateral sum to 360°.
In an isosceles triangle, base angles are equal.
In an equilateral triangle, each angle is 60°.

Angles in Polygons

A polygon with n sides has interior angle sum = 180^\circ \times (n-2).
Exterior angles of any polygon sum to 360°.
For a regular polygon: interior angle = \frac{180(n-2)}{n}, exterior angle = \frac{360}{n}.
Interior and exterior angles at a vertex sum to 180°.
To find missing angles in a polygon, subtract known angles from the sum.
If given interior angle of a regular polygon, solve \frac{180(n-2)}{n} = \text{angle} to find n.

Interior and exterior angles of a polygon

Angles in Parallel Lines

Corresponding angles (F-shape) are equal.
Alternate angles (Z-shape) are equal.
Co-interior angles (C-shape) sum to 180°.
Vertically opposite angles also apply in parallel line problems.
Always give reasons (e.g., 'corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal').

Corresponding angles (F-shape)

Common Regular Polygons

Equilateral triangle (3 sides): interior 60°, exterior 120°.
Square (4 sides): interior 90°, exterior 90°.
Regular pentagon (5 sides): interior 108°, exterior 72°.
Regular hexagon (6 sides): interior 120°, exterior 60°.
Regular octagon (8 sides): interior 135°, exterior 45°.
