Angles of Triangles
Today in Maths we investigated the angles of triangles. Firstly I drew a equilateral and ripped and torn out the corners and following on my class and I put each of our corners together to form a straight line. Later on we did the exact thing but drawing and cutting out the corners of a Isosceles triangle. As we put them together the corners of this triangle also was able to transform into one strait line. As we all were discussing and talking about triangles out teacher mrs Dines told each and everyone of us that all triangles add up to 180 degrees. As you see this image on the right shows that even a isosceles triangle add up to 180 degrees.
