These are two slides in a park.
• Which slide has a larger angle?
• Which slide do you think is safer for the little boy? Why?
Answer:
- Slide 1 has a larger angle.
- As slide 1 has a larger angle and steeper than slide 2, there will be more chances for the boy to get hurt while sliding on slide 1. Thus, slide 2 would be safer for the little boy than slide 1.

Question 1:
Shapes and Towers Look for triangles in the pictures below. 
• From the activity ‘Changing Shapes’ can you guess why triangles are used in these towers, bridges etc?
• Look around and find out more places where triangles are used.
Answer:
- The triangles are used in the towers and bridges so as to make them strong. We know that a triangle is the strongest polygon out of all the other polygons. The angles can get changed in other polygons. However, in a triangle, the angles can not change once the triangle is built.

Question 1:
Can you guess how many degrees is the angle which is ―
•
12of a right angle __________
•
13of a right angle __________
• 2 times of a right angle __________ 
Answer:
We know
1 right angle = 90°
- 12of a right angle =12× 90°
= 45°
- 13of a right angle =13× 90°
= 30°
- 2 times a right angle = 2 × 90°
= 180°
