Key Words Recap Polygon - A polygon is a 2 D shape with straight sides. For example, a square, a triangle and a hexagon. Regular polygon - A regular polygon is a shape that has equal sides in length and equal angles. Irregular polygon - An irregular polygon is a 2 D shape that does not have equal sides in length and the angles are not equal. © The Digital Stationer 2018

Try this, applying all you have learnt so far: True or false? Liam claims that this shape is an irregular pentagon because each side is not equal in length. Is he correct? Explain your reasoning. © The Digital Stationer 2018

True or False? Answers Liam claims that this shape is an irregular pentagon because each side is not equal in length. Is he correct? Explain your reasoning. Liam is not correct as the shape has 6 sides, therefore it is an irregular hexagon. © The Digital Stationer 2018

Try this, applying all you have learnt so far: True or false? The sum of the interior angles in a hexagon is more than double the sum of the interior angles in a triangle. Explain your answer. © The Digital Stationer 2018

Try this, applying all you have learnt so far: True or false? The sum of the interior angles in a hexagon is more than double the sum of the interior angles in a triangle. Explain your answer. A regular hexagon has 6 sides. If we follow the formulae, it is 6 -2 = 4 then 4 x 180 = 720. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle are 180 so this is false. © The Digital Stationer 2018

Your Task Today: There are 4 tasks to do today, start on the mildest chilli challenge and work your way through to the super hot challenge.

I am an irregular polygon with one right angle. The sum of all angles is 180 o. What irregular polygon am I?

True or False? Tara is correct because a turn in either direction will have them facing South. The sum of the angles in a pentagon is 550 o and each interior angle is 110 o. Explain your answer.

I am a regular polygon. Each interior angle is 160 and the sum of all angles is 2880. How many sides do I have?

Spot the mistake and explain your answer: The sum of angles in each shape is: heptagon = 860 o hexagon = 720 o

Answers I am an irregular polygon with one right angle. The sum of all angles is 180 o. What irregular polygon am I? Right-angled triangle

Answers True or False? The sum of the angles in a pentagon is Tara is correct a turn in either direction will have them facing South. o. 550 because oand each interior angle is 110 Explain your answer. A pentagon has 5 sides so 550 divided by 5 = 110 so this is correct.

Answers I am a regular polygon. Each interior angle is 160 and the sum of all angles is 2880. How many sides do I have? 18 as 2800 o÷ 160 o= 18

Answers Spot the mistake and explain your answer: The sum of angles in each shape is: heptagon = 860 o hexagon = 720 o A heptagon has 7 sides so (7 -2) x 180 = 900. So the sum of the interior angles of a heptagon is 900.
