About this method

Angle and shape properties

Mark the shape property first, then subtract known angles from the relevant total.

In this one. Mark the degree before drawing the second ray, then check from the same zero scale.

Name the angle totalstraight lineknown + unknown = 180 degreesaround pointall sectors = 360 degrees

How to spot it

Look for a named quadrilateral like a rhombus or parallelogram, plus two straight lines crossing inside or through it. Words like "straight line" and "collinear" point to this move.

Common mistake

Children mix up which angle sits opposite which once lines cross at a point away from the main shape. Trace each ray back to its two labelled ends before deciding what faces what.
