Angles In Shape
The content of Shapes and Angle Class 5 contains the description of different angles in shape. Here students will learn about equilateral triangle angles.
In this learning concept, the students will also learn to
- Classify scalene triangle angles.
- Identify how many angles are there in a triangle.
- Evaluate how many right angles are in a triangle.
Each concept is explained to class 5 maths students using illustrations, examples, and mind maps. Students can assess their learning by solving the two printable worksheets given at the page’s end.

- Every object around us has a specific shape.
- The shape is classified into two types: Open shape and Closed shape.
- The shape in which the starting and the ending point are not the same is called the open shape. An open shape has space between them.
-
The shape in which the starting and the ending point are the same is
called the closed shape. A closed shape has no space
between them.
- A circle is a closed shape.
- A semi-circle is an open shape.
- The angle inside the shape is called the interior angle of a shape.
How Many Angles Are There in a Triangle?
- A triangle is three sides bounded figure.
- It has three interior angles.
- Sum of the interior angle of the triangle is 180°.

The three-interior angle of the triangle is ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C. ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°.
Equilateral Triangles Angles:
A triangle in which all the interior angles are equal to 60° is called an equilateral triangle.

Isosceles Triangle Angles:
A triangle in which two interior angles are equal is called an isosceles triangle.

Scalene Triangle Angles:
A triangle in which no interior angles are equal is called a scalene triangle.

Right-angled Triangle Angles:
A triangle in which one of the angles is equal to 90° is called a right-angled triangle.

How Many Right Angles in a Rectangle?
- A rectangle is four sides closed figure.
- Opposite sides of the rectangle are parallel and equal.
- It has 4 interior angles.
- Each interior of the rectangle is equal to 90°.
- Sum of the interior angle of the rectangle is 360°.

The four-interior angle of the rectangle is ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, and ∠D.
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Angles in a Square
- A square is four sides closed figure.
- Each side of the square is equal in length.
- It has 4 interior angles.
- Each interior of the square is equal to 90°.
- Sum of the interior angle of the square is 360°.

The four-interior angles of the square are ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, and ∠D.
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Missing Angles
Example 1:
Find the missing angle of the given triangle.

Solution:
Sum of the given angle = 120° + 28°
= 148°
The total sum of the interior angle = 180°
Missing angle = 180° – 148°
= 32°
Example 2:
Find the missing angle.

Solution:
Given angle = 60°
Total sum = 90°
Missing angle = 90° – 60°
= 30°
