Maths – Triangles and angles again. Can you remember how many degrees in a triangle?
There are ___________ degrees in a triangle.
Computing – Use Purple Mash to do the coding work that I have set for you
Answers for maths
There are 180 degrees in a triangle
Missing angles: 80 degrees, 60 degrees, 60 degrees, 75 degrees
Missing angles triangle:
60 degrees
30 degrees because if you add 90 and 60 you get 150 degrees. If the angles in a triangle add up to 180 then you need another 30 degrees.
a) 67 + 90 = 157, 180 – 157 = 23 degrees
b) 35 + 72 = 107, 180 – 107 = 73 degrees
c and d) The two missing angles are both equal size. !80 – 36 = 144, Half of 144 = 72 degrees
