Demystifying - Equations from angles and perimeters

Drills

Using angle sums, perimeters and areas to set up an equation, then answering the geometric question asked.

Author note — to cover

Set up equations from angle sums in triangles and on straight lines, equal sides of named shapes, and perimeters and areas with algebraic lengths; solve, then give the angle or length asked for, not the x. The angle facts and mensuration formulae themselves live on the Geometry strand. Both tiers. (A21)
