    *Triangles Review*

    All triangles have a total of 180 degrees. 
    To calculate an unknown angle in a triangle, you must subtract from 180.

    EXAMPLE


    Step 1: Add
    70 + 50 = 120

    Step 2: Subtract
    180 - 120 = 60 degrees

    Mathematics

    POLYGONS



     
    A polygon is any closed 2-dimensional shape formed with straight sides. Triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons are
    all examples of polygons. The name tells how many sides the shape has.
    For example, a triangle has three sides, and an octogon has eight sides.

    Quadrilaterals

    A quadrilateral is a polygon that has exactly four sides. This also means that a quadrilateral has exactly four vertices, and
    exactly four angles. Although, the sides do not have to be the same length, the angles inside a quadrilateral will always add
    up to 360 degrees.
    Here are some examples of quadrilaterals:
