Inez loves pinwheels. One day in class, she noticed that if she put three congruent triangles together so that one set of corresponding angles are adjacent, she could make a shape that looks like a pinwheel.

a. Can you determine any of the angles of her triangles? Explain how you found your answer.

b. How many sides does it have? What is another name for this shape?

c. Inez's shape is an example of a polygon because it is a closed, two – dimensional figure made of straight line segments connected end – to – end. As you study polygons in this course, it is useful to use the names shown bec
