3. Can you find 4 different rays that surround the same rectangle?

Andre says that these two lines are parallel because they do not intersect.

1. Explain why Andre is not correct.
2. Draw a line that is parallel to one of the lines in the image.

 

1. Find one angle in the figure. Draw a pair of rays to show the angle and extend them as far as you can.
2. Find another angle in the figure. Draw a pair of rays to show it. Extend the rays as far as you can. (If you’d like, you can use a different colored pencil for this pair of rays.)
3. Now that you have drawn some rays, do you see other angles that you didn’t see before? If you see one or more, label each one with a letter.

Here is a riddle. Can you solve it?

“I am a capital letter made of more than 1 segment with no curved parts. I have no perpendicular segments or parallel segments. What letter could I be?”

1. Name or describe any shapes that you recognize in the painting.
2. Do you see any parallel lines? If so, trace or circle them. (If you’d like, you can use a different colored pencil for each set of parallel lines.)
3. Are there any angles in the painting? If so, mark them or describe where they are.

1. Write two statements that compare the size of angles A and B.
2. Draw an angle C that is bigger than both angle A and angle B.

What is the smallest angle you can draw?

1. Can you draw a \(10^\circ\) angle?
2. What about a \(5^\circ\) angle or a \(1^\circ\) angle?
3. What is difficult about drawing a small angle?

1. Draw an acute angle. Explain how you know the angle is acute.
2. Extend one of the rays of your angle in the opposite direction. Explain why you’ve now created a new angle that is obtuse.

1. The circle is divided into 12 equal parts. What is the measure of angle \(h\)?

   Explain or show how you know.

   

   

2. Can you put together \(20^\circ\) angles to make a circle? How many of them will it take?

1. A circle has been cut into eighths. How many degrees is the angle labeled \(m\)? Explain or show your reasoning.

   

   

2. Another circle has been cut into fifths. How many degrees is the angle labeled \(p\)? Explain or show your reasoning.

   

   

1. What is the measure of each angle \(p\)? Explain or show how you know.

   

   

2. How many \(25^\circ\) angles can you fit together at one vertex without gaps or overlaps?

1. What angles are made by the hour and minute hands on a clock at these times? Explain or show your reasoning.

   • 3:00

   • 5:00

   • 6:00

2. How many degrees has the hour hand moved between 3:00 and 7:00? Explain or show how you know.

When Jada looked up at the clock, the long hand pointed at 12. Less than an hour later, she looked up again, and the long hand of the clock had turned 210 degrees. How many minutes had passed? Explain or show your reasoning.

Find the measure of each labeled angle in the drawing. Assume that:

• The angles of the triangles meeting at the point in the middle of the figure are all the same.
• The other angles of the triangles all have the same measure.

In this diagram each angle on the left hand side is the same as the corresponding angle on the right hand side. Find the measure of angles \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\). Explain or show your reasoning.

Tyler wonders if the hour hand and minute hand ever point in the same direction at the same time. Can you find some times when the hour hand and minute hand point in the same direction? Explain or show your reasoning.

1. Draw a rhombus with a \(50^\circ\) angle. Explain how you know your shape is a rhombus.
2. Draw another rhombus with a \(50^\circ\) angle. How are your rhombuses the same? How are they different?
