5. A TRIANGLE is a simple closed curve or polygon which is
created by three line segments. A triangle is a shape or a part
of two dimensional space. It has three straight sides and three
vertices. The three angles of a triangle always add up to 180
degrees. It is polygon with the least possible number of sides.
A POLYGON is a closed figure made up of several line segments
that are joined together. The line segments are called sides and
do not cross each other. There are exactly two sided that meet
at a point.
6. Direction: Read and Analyze.
Mr. Garcia bought an illustration board for his Math
class. He needs two triangles of the same size without wasting
any part of the illustration board. How will he divide it?
8. A QUADRILATERAL is a polygon with 4 sides, 4
vertices and 4 angles.
Can a quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles?
Any quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles as shown in
the images below.
9. Activity
Directions: Beside the number, put a circle on the quadrilateral and
box on the triangle. If it is not quadrilateral or a triangle, leave it
blank.
