Additional Practice Questions
Create different polygons using 10 matchsticks and identify the types of angles formed.
mediumAnswer: Using 10 matchsticks, you can create polygons such as a pentagon, hexagon, and even a decagon, identifying acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles.
Explain how the angle sum property of a triangle helps in determining the third angle.
mediumAnswer: The angle sum property states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Given two angles, subtract their sum from 180 to find the third angle.
Why do certain shapes have more stability than others? Discuss using the concept of angles.
hardAnswer: Shapes like triangles provide more stability because their angles provide structural strength, distributing weight evenly without alteration under pressure.
Measure the angles of different household objects and classify them as acute, right, obtuse, or straight.
easyAnswer: Using a protractor, measure angles of objects like tables or books. Classify the angles: less than 90 degrees are acute, 90 degrees are right, more than 90 but less than 180 are obtuse, and exactly 180 degrees are straight.
Describe the difference in angles between a square and a rectangle.
easyAnswer: Both shapes have right angles measuring 90 degrees each. The primary difference lies in their side lengths, not in their angles.
