5 ANGLES AND POLYGONS

A curling bridge looks like a conventional bridge when it is extended. However, it curls up
to form an octagon to allow boats through. This Rolling Bridge is in Paddington Basin in
London, and curls up every Friday at midday.

f 84°
b c 130° a a

Key Points
When two parallel lines are crossed by a straight line, as in the diagram, angles are formed.
The green angles are in corresponding positions so they are called corresponding angles. Corresponding
angles are equal.
The blue angles are also corresponding angles.
The orange angles are on opposite or alternate sides of the line so they are called alternate angles.
The yellow angles are also alternate angles.

The orange angles are on opposite or alternate sides of the line so they are called alternate angles. Alternate
angles are equal.
The yellow angles are also alternate angles.

Key Points
A polygon can be divided into triangles when all diagonals are drawn from one vertex. For an n-sided polygon,
the number of triangles will be (n-2).
A regular polygon will tesselate if the interior angle is an exact divisor of 360°. Regular triangles, squares and
hexagons will therefore tessellate.
