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

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

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

The sum of the interior angles of any triangle

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

... is 52° because the angles on a line at a point sum to 180°.

... is 45° because the angles in a triangle sum to 180°.

... is 45° because it looks to be half of a right angle.

... is 52° as it is vertically opposite the 52°.

... is 45° because the angles on a line at a point sum to 180°.
