coding – Treyden

Hello. We were challenged by our teacher to prove all exterior and interior angles of a polygon add up to 360. We are using the formula 360 – n = ?. n is the number of angles on the polygon. I don’t know why we didn’t add the heptagon if you’re wondering where it is.

We then had to create polygon shapes on Scratch.

We are creating 6 polygon shapes which are the Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon, Nonagon and Decagon. We also voice over them by their shape. Coding was actually really easy and took me under an hour to finish because all I’ve done was copy and paste the code and change the X-Y’s, the degrees and steps.

E.G: Since the interior and exterior of a square is 90 degrees, I can add 90 in the option that says ‘Turn angle degree’. Once I’ve done that, I’ll change the steps to 60 to make the square smaller.

Here’s my scratch project, if you want to view it, all you have to do is click the green flag in the corner or in the middle, it doesn’t really matter because after all, they are the same. Let me know what you think about this challenge! Are you also learning about polygons for maths?

Thank you for reading 😘

Kia Ora, reader. For maths, we had to go on Scratch and create four triangles and voice the details of them by coding! For me, coding was pretty easy, but when it came to creating the Scalene triangle, I really struggled, but did succeed in creating it! Anyways, here’s my project, all you have to do is click on the green flag to play it.

Equilateral Triangle – “Equilateral triangle, 3 equal sides and 3 congruent angles”

Right angle triangle – “right angle triangle, has a right angle and two other angles. Not all sides need to be even”

Isosceles triangle – “Isosceles triangle, 2 congruent sides and 2 congruent angles.”

Scalene triangle – “Scalene, no equal sides and no congruent angles.”
