Lesson 1.1.5
1-38. See below:

a. As the angle measure increases, the number of sides decreases.  As the angle measure decreases, the
number of sides increases. 

b. 3;  Answers vary

c. One possible method: Place the mirrors so that the measure of the angle between them is 60° and
lengths of the mirrors from the hinge to the edge of the paper are equal.

d. See solution to part (c) above            

1-39. See below:

a. 180°; this is a straight angle and it is half of the circular angle.

b. i. 45°

ii. 120°

iii. 20°

1-40. See below:

a. 120°

b. A square

c. The 5 angles form a circular angle, so they must add up to 360°.  Since there are 5 angles, then each
angle must be 360° ÷ 5 = 72°.  

d. It should have 360° ÷  40° = 9 sides

1-41. See below:

a. Expected response: measures of angles, qualities of shapes.

b. Sample responses: “What shapes are created if we used three mirrors?” or “What if the region
formed with the paper and the mirrors is not a triangle?”
