to find angles in special triangles Triangles and Quadrilaterals Objectives: to find angles in special triangles To calculate the degrees in a quadrilateral
What do you notice about the angles in a triangle? A straight line Allow 10 minutes for this activity esp giving out paper, issuing scissors and checking classwork. What do you notice about the angles in a triangle?
? 30° To find the missing angle 180° – (sum of given angles) = ? Angles in a Triangle always add up to 180° ? 70° 30° To find the missing angle 180° – (sum of given angles) = ? Copy this diagram and rule into your books – allow 3 minutes. 180° - 70°- 30° = 80°
Find the missing angles a, b, c and d. 30° 45° 20° a 60° b 63° 29° Sketch diagrams – not accurate but with a ruler pls - and answers with workings allow 10 minutes. NB Right angle notation. c 72° d
Equilateral Triangle The angles are always 60° All angles are equal. All Sides are equal The angles are always 60°
Isoceles Triangle 2 angles are equal. 2 Sides are equal
Right – Angled Triangle 1 angle always 90° 2 other angles = 90°
Scalene Triangle No Equal Sides No Equal angles
