Answer

  • (a) Each of the four angles is 360° ÷ 4 = 90°.

  • (b) The two upper angles are both 180° ÷ 2 = 90°, and the lower angle is 180°.

  • (c) Each of the six angles is 360° ÷ 6 = 60°.

  • (d) Each of the twenty angles is 360° ÷ 20 = 18°.

  • (e) The acute angle between the hands is 360° ÷ 12 = 30°; the reflex angle is 360° − 30° = 330°.

  • (f) Each of the three angles is 360° ÷ 3 = 120°.
