4.1 Angles
Mathematics · Grade 7 · 8 lessons in the design
What this covers
- Angles on a straight line: adjacent angles sum to 180°
- Angles at a point: sum to 360°; vertically opposite angles
- Angles on a transversal with parallel lines: corresponding, alternate and co-interior
- Angles in a parallelogram
- Interior-angle sum of polygons up to hexagon; (n − 2) × 180°
- Interior and exterior angles related to the number of sides
- Solving angles and sides of polygons up to hexagon
- Angles in the environment: roads, roofs, clocks, furniture
What you will be able to do
- relate different types of angles on a straight line in real-life situations
