Rule

The sum of all angles formed at a single point is always 360°.

CISCE: Class 6

Example 1

Suppose you have three known angles around a point O:

∠AOB = 95°
∠BOC = 80°
∠COD = 110°

Find the measure of the fourth angle, ∠DOA (denoted as x).

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. State the Axiom:

    ∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COD + ∠DOA = 360°
  2. Substitute Values:

    95° + 80° + 110° + x = 360°
  3. Calculate the Sum of Known Angles:

    (95 + 80 + 110)° + x = 360°
    285° + x = 360°
  4. Isolate and Solve for x:

    x = 360° - 285°
    x = 75°

The unknown angle ∠DOA is 75°

CISCE: Class 6

Real-Life Example

Think of the minute hand of a clock making one full rotation. As it goes all the way around, it sweeps out 360°, just like the angles around a point when lines meet.
