When I went into the office hours last week, I asked if there was somewhere I could get math help because question one is scary. Like, you're a little kid and it's the boogey monster in your closet scary.
Last night while I was at a party, there was a round table discussion about how lame it is that school cramps our style. In that moment I knew exactly what my problem with question 1 was: I have no idea how to go about measuring angles.
To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure I need to be able to measure that. It just seems like I would need to. We've already been given that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is pi radians. That's our base case. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to go about proving the induction step. Not being able to measure the angles in a useful way seems like a big stumbling block. Even if it's not the block I'm treating it as, I just hit a bigger block: I have no viable alternative right now.
Back to the drawing board.

I guess the only way to measure the angle is in big chunks of pi radians (each additional triangle).
