image of a rectangle with 4 lines drawn inside. First line goes from lower left corner to top right corner. Second line goes from lower right corner to top left corner. Third line goes vertically through the middle of the rectangle through the point of intersection of the previous two lines. The lower half darken. Fourth line goes from bottom right corner to the middle of the top side.
Write a description of the drawing that could be used by a classmate to make a copy.
Show Solution
Sample response: Draw two diagonal lines: one from the top left corner to the bottom right, and another from the bottom left corner to the top right. Draw a line that goes up and down through the point where the two diagonal lines cross. From the top of that line, draw a line to the bottom right corner. The bottom segment of the up-and-down line is thicker than the rest of the lines. The lines make a lot of triangles of different sizes.
The two lines get closer to each other in one direction. If we extend them, they eventually will intersect.
The two lines are not the same distance apart everywhere. The gap between the two lines is noticeably wider on one side and narrower on the other, so the two lines will cross if they’re extended.
Jada says Figure A shows an angle, but Figure B does not. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.
Mark the angles in each letter, and draw the rays to show each angle.
two figures resembling the capital letters L and Y. The letter L consists of 2 line segments that meet at a right angle. The letter Y consists of 3 segment that all meet in the middle. The bottom line segment is slightly longer than the other two.
Show Solution
Yes. Sample responses: Figure A is made up of two rays with the same starting point. Figure B is a continuous curve, so it doesn’t count as an angle.

Problem 3
Mark as many angles as you can find in the diagram.
Which angle is greater? How much greater than the other angle is it? Explain how you know.
Show Solution
The angle on Clock A is greater by about 5 minutes. Sample response: In Clock A, the minute hand would have to turn 13 or 14 minutes to get to where the hour hand is. In Clock B, the minute hand would have to turn only 8 or 9 minutes.
image of 4 figures. A. 2 intersecting lines forming 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles. B. Two rays connected at the endpoint to form a right angle. C. 2 rays. One ray connected to the other ray at its endpoint to form 2 right angles. D. 2 intersecting lines to form 4 right angles.
Use a protractor to measure the labeled angles in the figure.
How many degrees is each marked angle on the clock? Explain or show your reasoning.

B
Show Solution
60∘. Sample response: Every time the minute hand moves from one number to the next, it turns 30∘. The angle between the hands is 2 numbers apart, so it is 2×30, which is 60.
150∘. Sample responses:
5×30=150
If it was 6 o'clock, the angle would be 180∘. The angle for 5 o'clock is 30∘ less than 180∘.
