- 270 degrees
- 360 degrees
- 180 degrees (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 180 degrees
A straight angle forms a straight line and measures exactly 180 degrees.
Question 4: A student measures a desk and finds it is 150 centimeters long. How many meters is this?
- 0.15 meters
- 1.5 meters (Correct answer)
- 15 meters
- 1500 meters
Correct answer: 1.5 meters
Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, 150 cm ÷ 100 = 1.5 meters.
Question 5: Which shape has exactly 4 equal sides and 4 right angles?
