Connect numbered sectors to an exact equation

Every sheet has eight schematic triangles. Match Angle 1, Angle 2 and Angle 3 in the list to the numbered sectors in the diagram, then write an equation using the interior-angle sum, an adjacent exterior angle or a vertical-angle proxy.

Exactly one marked angle contains x and the other two are numeric givens. Solve for x and record the variable value without a degree sign. The drawings are intentionally not to scale, so use the printed expressions and stated angle relationship.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use the 180-degree interior sum, the adjacent exterior-angle theorem and vertical-angle equality to build and solve a one-variable equation from three numbered sectors.

Worked example

Angles 1 and 2 are 47 degrees and 70 degrees. Angle 3 is the interior expression 3x. What is x?

x = 21.

The three interior angles total 180 degrees, so 47 + 70 + 3x = 180. Subtract 117 to get 3x = 63, then divide by 3. The variable answer is 21, without a degree sign.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Match list numbers to diagram sectors before choosing an equation.
  • For three interior or vertical-proxy values, add the three marked values to 180 degrees.
  • For an adjacent exterior proxy, set the exterior value equal to the two remote interior values.
  • Substitute the solved x back into the printed expression and check every angle remains positive.
