  • Identify alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles formed by a transversal crossing parallel lines.
  • Calculate unknown angles in parallel-line diagrams.
  • Apply the triangle angle sum theorem to determine unknown angles.
  • Calculate the sum of the interior angles of a polygon using (n − 2) × 180°.
  • Calculate the size of one interior angle of a regular polygon.
  • Use the fact that exterior angles of a polygon sum to 360°.
  • Solve algebraic angle problems where angles in parallel-line or polygon diagrams are given as expressions in x.
