Grade 4 Angles Worksheet Answer Key: problems 1–5
Problem 1: Quarter turn
A full turn is \(360^{\circ}\). A quarter turn is one fourth of it: \(360 : 4 = 90\).
A quarter turn is \(90^{\circ}\).
Problem 2: Half turn and three-quarter turn
(a) \(360 : 2 = 180\). A half turn is \(180^{\circ}\).
(b) A quarter turn is \(90^{\circ}\), so three quarter turns make \(3 \times 90 = 270\). A three-quarter turn is \(270^{\circ}\).
Problem 3: Fraction of a circle
One eighth of \(360^{\circ}\) is \(360 : 8 = 45\).
The angle measures \(45^{\circ}\).
Problem 4: Counting one-degree angles
Each one-degree angle adds \(1^{\circ}\). Seventy-five of them make \(75 \times 1 = 75\) degrees.
The angle measures \(75^{\circ}\).
Problem 5: Comparing two angles
Angle A measures \(40^{\circ}\) and angle B measures \(25^{\circ}\).
\(40 – 25 = 15\). Angle A is greater by \(15^{\circ}\).

Problem 6: Reading a protractor: small angle
Ray A lies on 0. Ray B crosses the mark at 40 on the same scale.
The angle measures \(40^{\circ}\).
Problem 7: Reading a protractor: wide angle
Ray A lies on 0 on the right. Follow the scale that starts at 0 on the right until ray B: it crosses 125.
The angle measures \(125^{\circ}\).
Problem 8: Reading from the left
Ray A is on the left, so use the gray scale that starts at 0 on the left. Ray B crosses \(50^{\circ}\) on that scale.
Check: \(180 – 130 = 50\).
The angle measures \(50^{\circ}\).
Problem 9: Rays not on zero
Ray A crosses \(30^{\circ}\) and ray B crosses \(85^{\circ}\) on the same scale.
\(85 – 30 = 55\).
The angle measures \(55^{\circ}\).
Problem 10: Rays not on zero: wide angle
Ray A crosses \(45^{\circ}\) and ray B crosses \(150^{\circ}\).
\(150 – 45 = 105\).
The angle measures \(105^{\circ}\).
Grade 4 Angles Worksheet Answer Key: problems 11–15
Problem 11: Draw a 50 degree angle
- Draw ray OA and mark the vertex O.
- Put the center of the protractor on O and the baseline on ray OA, with 0 on ray OA.
- Find 50 on the scale that starts at 0 and make a small mark.
- Remove the protractor and draw a ray from O through the mark. Label the angle \(50^{\circ}\).
Problem 12: Draw a 155 degree angle
Put the center of the protractor on Q and the baseline on ray QA with 0 on QA, which is the right end. Read the scale that starts at 0 on the right, find 155, and mark it. Draw a ray from Q through the mark.
The scale that starts at 0 on the right shows 155 at the mark.
Problem 13: Adding two angles
The whole angle is made of two parts.
\(35 + 40 = 75\).
Angle AOB measures \(75^{\circ}\).
Problem 14: Adding three angles
\(20 + 35 + 25 = 55 + 25 = 80\).
Angle AOB measures \(80^{\circ}\).
Problem 15: Unknown angle in a square corner
The parts add up to \(90^{\circ}\): \(35 + x = 90\).
\(x = 90 – 35 = 55\).
The unknown angle is \(55^{\circ}\).
Grade 4 Angles Worksheet Answer Key: problems 16–20
Problem 16: Unknown angle on a straight line
\(115 + x = 180\).
\(x = 180 – 115 = 65\).
The unknown angle is \(65^{\circ}\).
Problem 17: Equation with a letter
The parts add up to the whole: \(48 + x = 130\).
\(x = 130 – 48 = 82\).
Check: \(48 + 82 = 130\).
The unknown angle is \(82^{\circ}\).
Problem 18: Pizza slices
A full turn is \(360^{\circ}\). One slice: \(360 : 8 = 45\), so \(45^{\circ}\).
Three slices: \(3 \times 45 = 135\). Maya’s slices make an angle of \(135^{\circ}\).
Problem 19: Angle on a clock
The 12 numbers split the circle into 12 equal angles: \(360 : 12 = 30\) degrees each.
From 12 to 4 there are 4 of these angles: \(4 \times 30 = 120\).
The angle measures \(120^{\circ}\).
Problem 20: Swinging gate
\(65 + 25 = 90\). Then \(90 – 30 = 60\).
The gate is open \(60^{\circ}\).
Grade 4 Angles Worksheet Answer Key: problems 21–22
Problem 21: Spinning in place
\(90 + 45 + 135 = 270\).
\(270 : 360 = \frac{3}{4}\), because 270 is three times 90 and 360 is four times 90.
Jamal turned \(270^{\circ}\), which is \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a full turn.
Problem 22: Find the mistake
Ray A is not on the 0 mark. It crosses \(25^{\circ}\), so Ava found the position of ray B, not the size of the angle between the rays.
\(70 – 25 = 45\).
The correct measure is \(45^{\circ}\).
