Task:

An angle can be defined as two rays or two line segments having a common end point. The endpoint becomes known as the vertex. An angle occurs when two rays meet or unite at the same endpoint.



1. How may degrees are there in one full turn?

2. Imagine you are facing North. You turn clockwise through 90 degrees. Which direction are you facing now?

3. Imagine the capital letter M. What letter does it look like when it's rotated 180 degrees?

4. An angle less than 90 degrees is known as ...

5. An angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is known as ...

6. If two of the angles inside a triangle are 90 degrees and 50 degrees, what is the third angle? What angle property/properties did you use in you reasoning?

7. Are the lines in the capital letter L parallel or perpendicular?

8. Will two parallel lines ever cross? Why?

  1. 1) 360 degrees
    2) East
    3) It looks like a W
    4) an acute angle
    5) an obtuse angle
    6) 40 degrees. I used the fact that all the angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
    7) Perpendicular
    8) Never. They should always be the exact same distance from each other.

    1. 360 degrees
    2. East
    3. It would look like the letter W
    4. Acute Angle
    5. Obtuse Angle
    6. The third angle is 40 degrees. The angles in a triangle always adds up into 180 degrees
    7. Perpendicular
    8. No, because they're parallel lines... They are the exact same line just that they're far apart from each other...

  4. 1. 360º degrees
    2. East
    3. W
    4. Acute Angle
    5. Obtuse Angle
    6.40º degrees
    7. Perpendicular
    8. No. Parallel line will remain side by side and having the same distance continuously between them.

  5. 1. 360 degrees
    2. East
    3. W
    4. Acute
    5. Obtuse
    6.40 degrees, triangle total angle is 180 degrees
    7.Prependicular
    8.No, the as they go in the same direction and they have an equal length apart so they will never cross

  6. 1. 360
    2. East
    3. Letter W
    4. Acute angle
    5. Obtuse angle
    6. 40 degrees, all the angles add up into 180 degrees
    7. Perpendicular
    8. No, they are parallel and never meet

  7. 1)360 degrees
    2)You face east
    3)It looks like a straight sided W.
    4)It is known as an Acute angle
    5)It is known as an Obtuse angle
    6)The 3rd angle would be 40 degrees. This is because all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees no matter what type of triangle it is.
    7)They are perpendicular
    8) No. They are parallel which means that the lines are always an equal distance apart. Thus, they cannot cross each other.

  8. 1. 360degrees.
    2. East.
    3. W
    4. Acute angle
    5. Obtuse angle
    6. 40degrees. I used the property of all angles in a triangle adds up to 180 degrees.
    7. Perpendicular.
    8. The will not. As they are opposite each other and there are parallel.

  9. 1. 360 degrees
    2. East
    3. W
    4. Acute Angle
    5. Obtuse Angle (if I'm not wrong)
    6. 40 degrees, the sides of a triangle make up 180 degrees.
    7. Perpendicular.
    8. No, the meaning of parallel is "side by side and never meet up" they only goes straight and not curve, hence, parallel lines will not cross.

  10. 1. How may degrees are there in one full turn?
    360 degreesssssssssss
    2. Imagine you are facing North. You turn clockwise through 90 degrees. Which direction are you facing now?
    East
    3. Imagine the capital letter M. What letter does it look like when it's rotated 180 degrees?
    W.
    4. An angle less than 90 degrees is known as ...
    A cute angle!! XD
    5. An angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is known as ...
    Obese angle :D HEHE :D Obtuse angle.
    6. If two of the angles inside a triangle are 90 degrees and 50 degrees, what is the third angle? What angle property/properties did you use in you reasoning?
    40 degrees. All the angles in a triangle = 180 degrees :)
    7. Are the lines in the capital letter L parallel or perpendicular?
    Perpendicular!!!!!
    8. Will two parallel lines ever cross? Why?
    No, they will not. They are opposite each other and they travel straight.

  13. 1) 360 Degrees!
    2) East!
    3) W !
    4) Acute Angle
    5) Obtuse Angle
    6) 40 Degrees! Interior Angles add up to 180 Degrees!
    7) Perpendicular ~
