A right angle equal to 90⁰.
This fact can be used to calculate unknown angles.

Draw pattern 4
Answer explanation
Number sequences are sets of numbers that follow a pattern or a rule.
If the rule is to add or subtract a number each time, it is called an arithmetic sequence.
If the rule is to multiply or divide by a number each time, it is called a geometric sequence.
Each number in a sequence is called a term.
A sequence which increases or decreases by the same amount each time is called a linear sequence.
