GEOMETRY • DIAGONAL LINES 207TRY IT OUTMake a pattern with diagonals
Draw a regular hexagon (six-sided shape)
or trace this one. Then use a ruler and
pencil to draw diagonals from each corner
to the other corners. This picture has three
diagonals drawn for you, in white. When
you have drawn all the lines, how many
diagonals can you count inside the shape?
Turn to page 320 to check your finished
picture, then colour it in to make a pattern. Draw diagonals
from each corner
of the hexagon.Diagonal lines can
slope in either
direction, like the zip
wire and the ladder.Perpendicular lines
can also slope
a lot, like the ladder
up to the zip wire.Can you find any
other diagonal
lines in this picture?Diagonal lines
can slope gently,
like the zip wire
in the picture.Answer on page 320206_207_Diagonal_lines.indd 207 29/02/2016 18:04
