Q. How many congruent angles are there?
Angles are congruent if they have the same angle measure in degrees. They can be at any orientation on the plane. In the figure above, there are two congruent angles.
Q. Do congruent angles add up to 180?
2) If two angles are congruent, the measure of their angles is equal. 3) The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. Since our unknown angles are congruent, we know that they have equal angle measurements.

Q. How do you know if a shape has congruent angles?
We indicate that angles are congruent by putting the same number of slash marks through each angle. Congruent polygons necessarily have to have the same shape and the same size. They also have to have the same number of sides.
Q. What shape has congruent angles?
| Name of Quadrilateral | Description |
|---|---|
| Rectangle | 2 pairs of parallel sides. 4 right angles (90°). Opposite sides are parallel and congruent. All angles are congruent. |
| Square | 4 congruent sides. 4 right angles (90°). Opposite sides are parallel. All angles are congruent. |
| Trapezoid | Only one pair of opposite sides is parallel. |
Q. What is the angle cut for a hexagon?
Each interior angle is the sum of angles divided by the number of sides. For a hexagon it’s 720/6 = 120, for an octagon it’s 1080/8 = 135. Each angle to be cut is half the interior angle. For hexagon it’s 60, for hexagon it’s 62.5.
Q. Why sum of angles of a triangle is 180?
A triangle’s angles add up to 180 degrees because one exterior angle is equal to the sum of the other two angles in the triangle. In other words, the other two angles in the triangle (the ones that add up to form the exterior angle) must combine with the third angle to make a 180 angle.
Q. Does a rectangle have 90 degree angles?
A rectangle can be defined as a four-sided quadrilateral with all its four angles being 90°. In a rectangle, all the angles are equal and equal to 90 degrees. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal which is not equal in case of a parallelogram.
