Angles in 4-sided shapes:

You will find many types of angles in all shapes. You have already seen how squares and rectangles are made up of right angles.
What do the angles inside a square or rectangle add up to? That's right: 360º.

Is this true for any 4-sided shape, or quadrilateral? The answer is yes!!

If we look at the angles in a parallelogram and rhombus, we find that opposite angles are in fact equal!!

In a kite, only one pair of opposite angles are equal

But in a trapezium, all the angles are different.
