EXERCISE 7A
1 State whether the following are true (T) or false (F):
a An angle measuring 89o is an acute angle.
b An angle measuring 91o is an obtuse angle.
c The size of an angle depends on the lengths of its arms.
d When a vertical line crosses a horizontal line the angle formed is a straight angle.
3
e 4 of a straight angle is an acute angle.
f A right angle is neither an acute angle nor an obtuse angle.

2 [XY] is a fixed line segment and [OP] can rotate about O P


between [OX] and [OY].
a If a = 135, find b. b If b = 67, find a. a° b°

c What is a if b is 27? d If a is 0, what is b? O
e If a = 89, find b.
f If a = b, what is the value of each?

B TRIANGLES
A triangle is a polygon which has three sides.
All triangles have the following properties:
² The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o .
² Any exterior angle is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles.
² The longest side is opposite the largest angle.
² The triangle is the only rigid polygon.
