Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get free geometry worksheets with the following specifications?

(1) The worksheet questions are about calculating the angles in a quadrilateral or triangle
(2) If it is a triangle question, it might have something like an isoceles (sp) triangle, there's one angle given, calculate the other angles. Or, you might have a bunch of overlapping triangles, are given one angle and asked to calculate another arbitrary angle
(3) If it is a quadrilateral question, it will deal with parallelograms, trapezoids or rhombii (rhombuses), where one angle is given, and the student is asked to calculate another angle. Or, the quadrilateral will be cut up into triangles.
(4) There isn't any algebraic formula in it
(5) There aren't any requests for proofs.

The context is my daughter has just done a workbook chapter with about 10 questions like the above, and gotten just about everything wrong. She needs supplemental work. I've tried googling for the above, but everything I found is either too simple (what's a parallelogram? What are the properties of the angles on a parallelogram), involve proofs, or have an explicit algebra component.

It is difficult to construct these sorts of worksheets manually, which is why I'm turning to the Internet.

There is one pdf here:
http://www.mathworksheets4kids.com/triangles/missing-angles.pdf

There does not seem to be much available.
You might be better off looking for workbooks at your local store or
making up your own problems.

Hi Dorothy,

Thanks. Those are a little too basic. The last problem in the 8g5angle worksheet is the kind of thing I am looking for. The problem with buying a workbook is that I only need those kinds of problems so it seems like overkill.

I am probably a little to late in responding to be useful to you, but
you might like to look at "Infinite Geometry" at www.kutasoftware.com/

They have some basic free worksheets, but the great part is that you can
also sign up for a free two week trial which allows you to specify
problem types to make up worksheets.

I haven't tried the Geometry version, but I used the "Infinite Algebra"
when my daughter ran into a stumbling block problem type in Algebra. I
was able to have the program make easy problems of the type she needed
to practice, then have it create medium, then hard problems of the same
type until solving them all was easy and automatic.
