What is the measure of a straight angle?
180°
90°
360°
45°
A straight angle is formed by two opposite rays and measures exactly 180°. It appears as a straight line. Any other measurement does not form a straight angle. For more details, see Math Is Fun - Straight Angle.
What do you call two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees?
Complementary angles
Supplementary angles
Vertical angles
Adjacent angles
Complementary angles are defined as two angles whose measures sum to 90°. They do not have to be adjacent. Angles summing to 180° are supplementary instead. Learn more at Math Is Fun - Complementary Angles.
What is the measure of a right angle?
90°
45°
60°
180°
A right angle is exactly 90°, representing one quarter of a full rotation. It is indicated by a small square at the vertex. No other angle measure defines a right angle. More information at Math Is Fun - Right Angle.
When two lines intersect, the angles that are opposite each other and equal in measure are called what?
Vertical angles
Adjacent angles
Corresponding angles
Alternate interior angles
Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross, and they are always equal. Adjacent angles share a side but are not opposite. For more, see Math Is Fun - Vertical Angles.
Two angles that share a common side and vertex but do not overlap are known as what?
Adjacent angles
Supplementary angles
Vertical angles
Complementary angles
Adjacent angles share a common side and vertex without overlapping. They can be complementary or supplementary but adjacency refers only to position. See Math Is Fun - Adjacent Angles for more.
If one angle measures 130°, what is its supplementary angle?
50°
40°
60°
70°
Supplementary angles add up to 180°. Subtracting 130° from 180° gives 50°. No other value will sum to 180° with 130°. More details at Math Is Fun - Supplementary Angles.
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, which pair of angles are always equal?
Corresponding angles
Adjacent angles
Supplementary angles
Vertical angles
Corresponding angles are in the same relative position at each intersection of a transversal with parallel lines, and they are equal in measure. For more, see Math Is Fun - Corresponding Angles.
Two lines in the same plane that never meet, no matter how far they extend, are called what?
Parallel lines
Perpendicular lines
Skew lines
Intersecting lines
Parallel lines are always the same distance apart and never intersect in a plane. Perpendicular lines meet at 90°, and skew lines do not lie in the same plane. More at Math Is Fun - Parallel Lines.
If an alternate interior angle is 65° when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what is the measure of the other alternate interior angle?
65°
115°
90°
180°
Alternate interior angles between parallel lines are congruent, so they share the same measure of 65°. They lie on opposite sides of the transversal inside the parallel lines. Details at Math Is Fun - Alternate Interior Angles.
If two lines are perpendicular, what angle do they form at their intersection?
90°
180°
60°
45°
Perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles, each measuring 90°. This is the defining property of perpendicularity. Learn more at Math Is Fun - Perpendicular Lines.
In the figure, angle A is (3x + 10)° and its vertical angle is (5x - 30)°. What is the value of x?
20
10
5
15
Vertical angles are equal, so 3x + 10 = 5x - 30. Solving gives 2x = 40, so x = 20. Vertical angle properties are explained at Math Is Fun - Vertical Angles.
Lines l and m are parallel and line n is a transversal. If corresponding angle on l is (2x + 20)° and corresponding angle on m is (4x - 10)°, find x.
15
10
20
25
Corresponding angles are equal, so 2x + 20 = 4x - 10. That gives 2x = 30 and x = 15. See Math Is Fun - Corresponding Angles for more.
Angle ABC and angle CBD are adjacent and form a straight line. If ABC is 30° and CBD is (2x + 10)°, find x.
70
75
65
60
Adjacent angles on a straight line sum to 180°, so 30 + (2x + 10) = 180, giving 2x + 40 = 180, so x = 70. Adjacent angle properties at Math Is Fun - Adjacent Angles.
Given two parallel lines cut by a transversal, an alternate exterior angle is (5x - 15)° and its matching alternate exterior angle is (3x + 5)°. Find x.
10
5
15
8
Alternate exterior angles are congruent, so 5x - 15 = 3x + 5. Solving gives 2x = 20 and x = 10. See Math Is Fun - Alternate Exterior Angles.
In a triangle, one exterior angle measures (4x + 20)° and the two remote interior angles measure (3x - 10)° and (2x + 5)°. What is x?
25
15
10
20
By the exterior angle theorem, (4x + 20) = (3x - 10) + (2x + 5). That simplifies to 4x + 20 = 5x - 5, so x = 25. More at Math Is Fun - Exterior Angle Theorem.
Line l is parallel to line m. Line n is perpendicular to m. What is the relationship between l and n?
Line l is perpendicular to line n
Line l is parallel to line n
Line l is skew to line n
Lines coincide
A line perpendicular to one of two parallel lines is also perpendicular to the other. Since n ? m and l ? m, it follows that n ? l. See Math Is Fun - Perpendicular Lines.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Essential Angle Types -

    In geometry, acute angles measure less than 90°, right angles measure exactly 90°, obtuse angles are between 90° and 180°, and straight angles are exactly 180° (University of Cambridge). A handy mnemonic is "A Rat Opens Spaces" to remember Acute, Right, Obtuse, Straight. Identifying these basic types is the first step to acing any lines and angles quiz.

  2. Complementary and Supplementary Relationships -

    Complementary angles sum to 90° (e.g., 30° + 60° = 90°) while supplementary angles sum to 180° (e.g., 110° + 70° = 180°) (Khan Academy). Use the phrase "Complementary Cuts the Corner" to recall 90° and "Supplementary Stretches Straight" for 180°. These foundational relationships appear often in types of angles questions.

  3. Vertical and Adjacent Angle Pairs -

    Vertical angles are opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines and are always congruent, while adjacent angles share a common side and can form linear pairs summing to 180° (Wolfram MathWorld). This concept is frequently tested in angle identification quizzes to assess intersection understanding. Visualize an "X" shape to spot equal vertical angles instantly.

  4. Parallel Lines and Transversal Angles -

    When a transversal crosses parallel lines, it creates corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and consecutive interior angles, each with set congruency or supplementary rules (NCTM). For example, corresponding angles are equal, recognizable by the "F" shape, and alternate interior angles form a "Z" pattern. Mastering these relationships is vital for success on a geometry practice quiz.

  5. Triangle Angle Sum and Exterior Angle Theorem -

    The interior angles of any triangle always sum to 180°, so knowing two angles lets you find the third (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics). Additionally, an exterior angle equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles, a powerful shortcut for complex problems. Remember "Three's Company, Three to Sum (180°)" as a reliable triangle mnemonic.
