03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 38 degrees | 90 minus 52 is 38. |
| 2 | 90 degrees | 180 minus 90 is 90 degrees. |
| 3 | 180 degrees | 360 minus 180 is 180 degrees. |
| 4 | 45 degrees | 180 minus 110 minus 25 is 45. |
| 5 | 120 degrees | 360 minus 100 minus 80 minus 60 is 120. |
| 6 | 65 degrees. | Vertically opposite angles are equal, so the opposite angle is also 65 degrees. |
| 7 | 75 degrees | 180 minus 30, then divide by 2, gives 75 degrees. |
| 8 | 180 degrees | At six o clock the hands point in opposite directions, six spaces apart, and 6 times 30 is 180 degrees. |
| 9 | 60 degrees | 90 divided by 3 is 30, so two of these angles make 60 degrees. |
| 10 | An acute angle. | An angle smaller than 90 degrees is acute; an obtuse angle must be greater than 90 degrees. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
Check the answers; for a wrong item, confirm whether the total is 180 or 360 degrees, then work it again.Tutor Registration →
