Paper art promoting a lively middle school geometry quiz on angle addition and relationships.

In angle XYZ, ray YW divides it into two adjacent angles. If m∠XYW = 30° and m∠WYZ = 50°, what is m∠XYZ?
90°
50°
80°
60°
According to the angle addition postulate, the measure of the full angle is the sum of its adjacent parts. Adding 30° and 50° gives 80°, which is the correct measure.
If point D lies in the interior of angle ABC such that m∠ABD = 60° and m∠DBC = 40°, what is m∠ABC?
80°
100°
90°
110°
By the angle addition postulate, the measure of angle ABC is the sum of m∠ABD and m∠DBC. Hence, 60° + 40° equals 100°.
In angle XYZ, if m∠XYW = 70° and the entire angle m∠XYZ = 120°, what is m∠WYZ?
40°
50°
60°
80°
The angle addition postulate tells us that m∠XYZ is the sum of m∠XYW and m∠WYZ. Subtracting 70° from 120° gives 50°, which is the correct answer.
Ray QS divides angle PQR into two adjacent angles. If m∠PQS = 25° and m∠SQR = 65°, what is m∠PQR?
85°
80°
95°
90°
According to the angle addition postulate, the measure of angle PQR is the sum of its parts: 25° + 65° equals 90°. This confirms the correct answer.
Angle ABC is partitioned by ray BD into two angles where m∠ABD = 30° and m∠DBC = x. If m∠ABC = 90°, what is the value of x?
60°
70°
50°

The two adjacent angles sum to (y + 5) + (y + 5) = 2y + 10. Setting 2y + 10 equal to 70 gives 2y = 60, so y is 30.

Using the angle addition postulate, we set up the equation 3x + (x + 30) = 4x + 30 = 90. Solving gives 4x = 60, so x is 15.
Two adjacent angles forming a straight angle have measures m∠1 = 4y and m∠2 = y + 10. What is the value of y?
34
36
32

Since the angles form a straight line, their sum is 180°. The equation 4y + (y + 10) = 5y + 10 equals 180, so solving gives y = 34.
In angle ABC, if m∠ABD = 4z + 2 and m∠DBC = 2z - 2 with m∠ABC = 60°, what is the value of z?

By the angle addition postulate, (4z + 2) + (2z - 2) simplifies to 6z, which is set equal to 60°. Solving 6z = 60 yields z = 10.
An angle is divided into two parts, one represented as (x/2) and the other as (x/2 + 20). If their sum is 80°, what is x?
40
70
60
50
Adding the two parts, we get x/2 + (x/2 + 20) = x + 20. Setting x + 20 equal to 80 gives x = 60.
A reflex angle is partitioned into two parts: one is 150° and the other is 2y. If the total angle is 210°, what is y?
20
25
30
35
Using the angle addition postulate, 150° + 2y = 210°. Subtracting 150° from 210° gives 2y = 60, so y equals 30.
Angle ABC is divided into two adjacent angles, where m∠ABD = 3k + 5 and m∠DBC = k + 15, with m∠ABC = 80°. What is the value of k?
12
10
15
20
By adding the two angle measures, we have (3k + 5) + (k + 15) = 4k + 20 = 80. Solving for k gives k = 15.
If an angle is split into two parts, with one part being 80% of the whole and the other 20°, what is the measure of the whole angle?
100°
90°
110°
120°
Let the whole angle be T. Then one part is 0.8T and the other is 20°, so 0.8T + 20 = T. Solving gives 0.2T = 20, hence T = 100°.
In a diagram, an angle is divided by a ray into two adjacent angles with measures (2m + 10)° and (3m - 5)°. If the entire angle measures 85°, what is the value of m?
15
16
18
20
The sum of the two parts is (2m + 10) + (3m - 5) = 5m + 5. Setting 5m + 5 equal to 85 gives 5m = 80, so m equals 16.
