F Exercise 5.1 Regular polygons
1 a i Square ii Equilateral triangle
b i 90° and 90° ii 60° and 120°
2 a 360° ÷ 6 = 60° b 180° − 60° = 120° Check students’ reasons.
3 a 360° ÷ 8 = 45° b 180° − 45° = 135° Check students’ reasons.
4 a 180° − 144° = 36° b 10
5 360 ÷ 30 = 12
6 360 ÷ 18 = 20
7 180 − 168 = 12, 360 ÷ 12 = 30
8 360 − 36 = 324, 324 ÷ 3 = 108, 180 − 108 = 72, 360 ÷ 72 = 5; the shape is a pentagon
9 360 − 120 − 90 = 150, 180 − 150 = 30, 360 ÷ 30 = 12
10 a No. 360 ÷ (180 − 110) is not a whole number.
b Yes, 6 c No d Yes, 9 e Yes, 12
11 128.6° to one decimal place
12 a 72 b 180
F Exercise 5.2 More polygons
1 a 900° b 1260° c 1440°
2 a 170° b 90°, 80°, 70°, 60°, 50° and 10°. The sum is 360°.
3 104°
4 It is an octagon so they add up to 1080°.
5 They add up to 530°. For a pentagon they should add up to 540°.
6 (N − 2) × 180 = 1800 → N − 2 = 10 → N = 12. It has 12 sides.
7 a 120°
b No. If four angles are 90° they add up to 360°. Then the fifth must be 540° − 360° = 180°. This is impossible.

F Exercise 5.3 Solving angle problems
1 a a = 180 − (35 + 40) = 105
b b = 40, corresponding angles
2 a c = 68 + 54 = 122, exterior angle of triangle
b d = 122 − 86 = 36, using exterior angle of triangle
3 T
hird angle of triangle = 180° − (25° + 40°) = 115°. Angles of square and equilateral triangle are 90° and 60°.
d = 360 − (115 + 90 + 60) = 95.
4 O
AC is isosceles so a = (180 − 54) ÷ 2 = 63. The 54° angle is the exterior angle of isosceles triangle OBC so
b = 54 ÷ 2 = 27.
5 The angles at Y and X are 90° and 105°. The sum of the five angles is 540°. w = 540 − (90 + 90 + 105 + 105) = 150.
6 a x = 73, alternate angles b y = 46, alternate angles c z = 73, corresponding angle to x
7 The angles of the pentagon and the hexagon are 108° and 120°. a = 360 − (108 + 120) = 132
8 Sum of angles = 360° → 5a = 360 → a = 360 ÷ 5 = 72
9 a = 33, isosceles triangle. Angle WYZ = a° + 33° = 66°, exterior angle of triangle XWY. b = 180 − 2 × 66 = 48,
angle of isosceles triangle. c = 66 + 48 = 114, exterior angle of triangle WYZ.
10 Extend AB. e = d, alternate angles. A B
a + e = 180, angles on a straight line, so a + d = 180. e° a° b° f °
Similarly, c = f, alternate angles; b + f = 180, so b + c = 180.
