It is asking you to work out the size of angle n.
Let's practise
What is the size of angle n?
n =°
- Read the question and then read it again. What is it asking you to do?
Show me
- What angle sizes do you already know?
Show me
One angle is 65° and another is a right angle. That is the same as 90°.
- What do you know about the sum of angles in a triangle?
Show me
Angles in a triangle add up to 180°.
- To calculate the size of the missing angle, subtract the size of the angles you do know from 180°, or think about what you need to add to get to 180°.
Show me
180° – 90° – 65° = 25°
OR
90° + 65° = 155°
180° – 155° = 25°
- What is your answer?
Check your working.
Show me
The answer is 25°.
You can use the inverse to check that 90° + 65° + 25° = 180°.
