Demystifying - Angles on a straight line

Drills

Angles on one side of a straight line sum to 180°, and only when the line really is straight.

Author note — to cover

Angles on one side of a straight line sum to 180 degrees, with several unknowns, algebraic angles, and the check that the line really is straight before the rule is claimed. Reason stated every time. Co-interior angles, which also sum to 180, are their own page. Both tiers. (G3)
