angles at a point have measures that add up to ____________

Question

A. 0 degrees       C. 180 degrees

 

B. 90 degrees      D. 360 degrees

Answer 1

Here's a way to visualize this if you don't immediately know the answer.

 

In your head, draw a circle around the point with the point as the center.

 

You can see that all the angles at the point combine to go around the whole circle.  And remember that a circle has 360°.  So the sum of all the angles around the point is the same as total degrees around a circle. 

 

So the answer is D.
