The four types of angle you should know are acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles. When you are estimating the size of an angle, you should consider what type of angle it is first.

Well done everyone. You have remembered from our previous lessons and have shown great understanding.

What is digital Resillience

Digital resilience is a dynamic personality asset that grows from digital activation i.e. through engaging with appropriate opportunities and challenges online, rather than through avoidance and safety behaviours.

When a company gets serious about being digitally resilient, it puts processes in place to ensure that its digital technologies are protected. It also creates processes for handling emergencies and other issues like cyberattacks. For these processes to be effective, all employees must be on board.

Art
