Best Answer

mark a line parelell to the wall at say 100mm offset

mark the partition position on this line with a sharp pencil

measure and mark a distance of 4 metres back from the first mark

mark an arc of 3 metres from the intersection of the first mark

mark an arc of 5 metres from the intersection of the second mark

where the arcs coincide is squre with the wall .

Note .

offseting the first line mmerely facilitates putting your tape measure acurately on the mark (forget this step if perfect accuracy is not required).

Note.

3,4, & 5 meters can be substituted with any other unit you care to use . eg 18, 24, & 30 ft gives a triangle of the same proportions. The larger the triangle you use the greater the accuracy.

What are angles that are formed when two lines intersect?

When two unique lines intersect, two pairs of equal angles will be formed. All four angles could be 90 degrees (right angles) if the lines are perpendicular. If the lines are oblique, the pairs of angles can vary (almost) infinitely within a given range (1 degree-179 degrees).The intersection of two lines results in two pairs of equal angles such that the sum of angles equals 360. Another way to state this is that two adjacent angles will always sum to 180 degrees. That said, the best we can do is to express one angle in terms of the other. Call a pair of adjacent angles a and b. In the case of two adjacent angles, a = 180 - b, or b = 180 - a.


What is the sum of the interior angles in the square pentagon and octagon State the polygon and then the sum?

Square = 360 Pentagon = 540 Octagon = 1080


What does the angle sum theorem for triangles state?

Presumably it states that for any triangle its 3 interior angles add up to 180 degrees.


How do you work out the size of an angle?

Measure it with a protractor. (If you needed a more mathematical answer with trigonomic functions, you need to state what data you know - i.e length of 2 sides, or length of one side and an angle, what the shape is etc... There is no general method to "how to work out the size of an angle" that works for all shapes.)


What is a figure with sides made by line segments that meet to form angles?

A polygon. ---- nope sorry.. i could have two lines they are non-collinear .. and they meet - ie. they intersect.. and well, they will have = made an angle - by definition of what it means .. when two non-collinear lines meet.. polygon has to be closed.. there is nothing in the statement of the problem that one can use to state even is there are more than 2 sides.. let alone if its a closed set..
