This math skill teaches how to calculate the sum of the inside angles of polygons. It explains that triangles have a total of 180 degrees, quadrilaterals have 360 degrees, and pentagons have 540 degrees. This rule applies regardless of the shape's regularity.
🎙️
What are the sums of the inside angles of these shapes?
🎙️
Triangles always add up to 180 degrees, four sided shapes always add up to 360 degrees, and five sided shapes always add up to 540 degrees
🎙️
This rule works even for irregular shapes. This is a triangle, for example, so the inside angles will always add up to 180 degrees
