(a) Making a paper fan. Take a rectangular paper, fold every 2 cm as shown in the picture. Paste ice cream sticks as shown below to create a paper fan.

Use your paper fan to show different acute angles and obtuse angles.

Let us look at the turns made by the paper fan, keeping one side fixed.

Make an acute turn with the straws or fan. Continue to make another acute turn. Can the two acute turns together make another acute turn?
Solution:
Make a paper fan.

Make less than a turn (acute angle).
Make less than a turn (acute angle).

Put one above the other.
It is still less than turn (acute angle).

So, two acute turns together can make another acute turn.

(b) Now, try this.

Show a turn of the straw.
Solution:

Show a turn. Show a turn. Show a turn.
Solution:
Turn the straw by two part of the circle clockwise or anticlockwise.

Since two makes a , turn the straw by two parts of the circle clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Turn the straw by three parts of the circle clockwise or anti-clockwise.

What angle have you made with a turn? A turn is half of a quarter turn.
Solution:
Angle made with a turn is a right angle.
Since, two make a . So, a turn is half of a quarter turn.

What angle have you made with a turn?
Solution:
Turn the straw by four parts of the circle clockwise or anticlockwise.

So, the angle made with a turn is a straight angle.

(b) In the given figure, angles D and D’ show a turn of less than . So, angles D and D’ are acute angles.

Angle E opens wider than turn but less than a half turn, so angle E is an obtuse angle.

(c) In the given figure, only F shows a turn of less than , so angle F is an 4 acute angle and angle F’ shows a turn, so angle F’ is a right F angle.

Angle G opens wider than turn but less than a turn, so angle G is an obtuse angle.

(b) When the minute hand moves by 30 minutes, it has made a _______ turn of the circle.
