polygons and tessalations

Question

#4. Nathan asked his teacher if it is possible to have an angle greater than 360 degrees. How would you respond to this question?

Answer 1

Even 360 can be hard to visualize. With triangles, the largest angle has to be less than 180 degrees.

If you define "angle" as the amount of rotation in some process, then the angle can be anything. In a rotating machine, one turn of a shaft is 360 degree, so 2 turns is 720 degrees.

The short answer? ----"It depends"
