Question 1025946: Sorry, tried to put the shape in, couldn’t work, only let print the words.
The star shape has 8 lines of symmetry and is made by overlapping two squares.
(couldn’t put the shape into here)______________________
The shape can be split into 8 identical quadrilaterals that look like this:
(couldn’t put the shape into here)_____________________
What is the size of the largest angle in the quadrilateral, in degrees?
Teacher gave the answer: 225 , but couldn’t work it out the way. Thanks!
If my diagram is what you meant, then you can point out to your teacher that it is impossible for two angles of a convex quadrilateral to both measure 225 degrees. The sum of the angles of any quadrilateral is 360 degrees, and 2 times 225 is 450. The sum of the two congruent largest angles is 225. Angle A is 90 because it is the vertex of a square. Angle C is 45 because it is 360 divided by 8. 90 plus 45 is 135. 360 minus 135 is 225. 225 divided by 2 is 112.5.
