A pair of angles at different vertices on the same side of a transversal in equivalent positions.

A pair of angles both between or both outside two line segments that are on opposite sides of the transversal that cuts them.

Co-interior angles are on the same side of the transversal line and in between the two other lines.

An interior angle is an angle formed inside a polygon by two of its edges.

An exterior angle is an angle on the outside of a polygon between an extension of an edge and its adjacent edge.

Maths

This unit gives pupils the opportunity to explore polygons and begin to generalise their understanding of interior/exterior angles in regular polygons. In the future unit, pupils will use the geometrical properties of a rhombus to perform various constructions

In this unit, pupils learnt how to calculate with angles at a point and angles on a straight line. In this unit, pupils extend their knowledge about angles in lines

Geometrical properties: polygons

Adjacent angles on a straight line sum to 180°.

Co-interior in parallel lines angles sum to sum to 180°.

∠ABG = 112°. Based on this information, which justification could be used to explain why ∠CBG = 68°?

Alternate angles in parallel lines are equal.

Corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal.

Which justification could be used to explain why ∠CGF = ∠GCD?

alternate angles in parallel lines are equal

corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal

adjacent angles on a straight line sum to 180°

co-interior angles in parallel lines sum to sum to 180°

Match each statement with its justification.

Given ∠EGC = 82°, then ∠CGB = {{}}°.

The pentagon in the image is regular. The size of the shaded angle is {{}}°.

The image shows a regular pentagon and a regular hexagon. The size of the shaded angle is {{}}°.

In which cases are the angles always equal to each other?

Co-interior angles on parallel lines sum to {{}}°.

Match each shape with the sum of its interior angles.

they are alternate angles on the parallel lines

they are corresponding angles on the parallel lines
