4.2: Polygons

#4.2A

recognise and give the names of polygons

To include parallelogram, rectangle, square, rhombus, trapezium, kite, pentagon, hexagon and octagon

#4.2B

understand and use the term ‘quadrilateral’ and the angle sum property of quadrilaterals

The four angles of a quadrilateral are 90°90°, (x+15)°(x + 15)°, (x+25)°(x +25)° and (x+35)°(x + 35)°. Find the value of xx

#4.2C

understand and use the properties of the parallelogram, rectangle, square, rhombus, trapezium and kite

#4.2D

understand the term ‘regular polygon’ and calculate interior and exterior angles of regular polygons

#4.2E

understand and use the angle sum of polygons

For a polygon with nn sides, the sum of the interior angles is (2n4)(2n – 4) right angles

#4.2F

understand congruence as meaning the same shape and size

#4.2G

understand that two or more polygons with the same shape and size are said to be congruent to each other
