Geometry: Shapes & Angles, Polygons chapter concept of 11 plus exam GL assessment examination

"Geometry: Shapes & Angles, Polygons" 

 GL Assessment 11+ exam for schools 


### **Chapter: Geometry - Shapes, Angles & Polygons**


#### **Step 1: Understanding Angles**


An angle is a measure of turn between two lines that meet at a point (the vertex).


*   **Types of Angles:**

    *   **Acute Angle:** Less than 90°.

    *   **Right Angle:** Exactly 90° (often marked with a square in a corner).

    *   **Obtuse Angle:** Greater than 90° but less than 180°.

    *   **Straight Line:** Exactly 180°.

    *   **Reflex Angle:** Greater than 180° but less than 360°.

    *   **Full Turn:** Exactly 360°.


*   **Key Angle Facts:**

    *   Angles on a straight line add up to 180°.

        *   e.g., If one angle is 115°, the other is 180 - 115 = 65°.

    *   Angles around a point add up to 360°.

        *   e.g., If three angles are 110°, 95°, and 80°, the missing angle is 360 - (110+95+80) = 75°.

    *   Vertically opposite angles are equal. (Where two straight lines cross, the angles opposite each other are equal).


#### **Step 2: Understanding Polygons**


A polygon is a 2D shape with straight sides.


*   **Regular Polygon:** All sides are the same length and all interior angles are equal (e.g., a square).

*   **Irregular Polygon:** Sides and angles are not all equal.


*   **Common Polygons:**

    *   Triangle: 3 sides

    *   Quadrilateral: 4 sides

    *   Pentagon: 5 sides

    *   Hexagon: 6 sides

    *   Heptagon: 7 sides

    *   Octagon: 8 sides

    *   Nonagon: 9 sides

    *   Decagon: 10 sides


*   **Key Polygon Facts:**

    *   **Sum of Interior Angles:**

        *   Triangles always add up to **180°**.

        *   For any polygon, you can find the sum of interior angles by splitting it into triangles. The formula is: **Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°**, where `n` is the number of sides.

        *   *Example:* A hexagon (6 sides): (6-2) × 180 = 4 × 180 = **720°**.

    *   **Exterior Angles:** The angles on the outside if you extend the sides. For any **regular** polygon, all exterior angles are equal.

        *   Sum of exterior angles for ANY polygon is **360°**.

        *   To find one exterior angle of a regular polygon: **360° ÷ number of sides**.

        *   *Example:* A regular octagon: One exterior angle = 360 ÷ 8 = **45°**.


#### **Step 3: Special Triangles and Quadrilaterals**


*   **Triangles:**

    *   **Equilateral:** All sides equal, all angles 60°.

    *   **Isosceles:** Two sides equal, two angles equal.

    *   **Scalene:** All sides and angles different.

    *   **Right-Angled:** Has one 90° angle.


*   **Quadrilaterals:**

    *   **Square:** All sides equal, all angles 90°.

    *   **Rectangle:** Opposite sides equal, all angles 90°.

    *   **Parallelogram:** Opposite sides equal and parallel.

    *   **Rhombus:** All sides equal, opposite angles equal (a "squashed" square).

    *   **Trapezium:** One pair of parallel sides.

    *   **Kite:** Two pairs of adjacent sides equal.


#### **Step 4: Symmetry**


*   **Line Symmetry:** A shape has line symmetry if you can fold it in half and both sides match exactly. The fold line is the **line of symmetry**.

*   **Rotational Symmetry:** A shape has rotational symmetry if it can be rotated (turned) about its centre and look the same in more than one position. The **order of rotational symmetry** is the number of times it fits into its own outline during a full 360° turn.

    *   *Example:* A square has **4** lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order **4**.

### **Answer Key & Solutions**


**Part A & B & C (Questions 1-50) - Selected Solutions:**

*   **2.** Complement = 90° - 34° = **56°**

*   **4.** Sum of angles in triangle = 180°. 180 - (40+40) = **100°**

*   **5.** 3x + 2x = 180 → 5x=180 → x=**36**

*   **13.** Exterior angle = 180 - 120 = **60°** (Or 360/6=**60°**)

*   **14.** If interior is 135°, exterior is 45°. Sides = 360/45 = **8 sides**

*   **18.** (n-2)×180=900 → n-2=5 → n=**7 sides**

*   **29.** Let exterior = x. Interior = 2x. So x + 2x = 180 → 3x=180 → x=60. Sides=360/60=**6 sides**.

*   **30.** Sum of pentagon angles=540°. Three angles=300°. Remaining=240°. Two equal angles=240/2=**120°**.

*   **45.** Diagonals = n(n-3)/2. For heptagon (7 sides): 7×4/2=**14**.

*   **48.** (n-2)×180=1800 → n-2=10 → n=**12 sides**.
