There are different kinds of angles, such as an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, and the straight angle. An acute angle, which is less than ninety degrees, a right angle, which is exactly ninety degrees; an obtuse, which is a straight line. A hexagon is a figure with six equal sides and angles. The easiest way to construct a hexagon Is first to draw a circle and then to draw the hexagon inside the circle. An octagon Is a figure of eight equal sides, and can be drawn inside a circle.

A regular pentagon, which is a figure of five equal sides, can be drawn In a circle also. Reperters, Brenda Breffle and Kathy Harms FOURTH GRADE We are enjoying our unit on New Orleans.
