2 rays
Six angles.
There is 1 angle between each pair of rays. So 30 rays equals 30 angles. But, if the angles are likened to the spokes of a bicycle wheel, should the 30 rays not completely fill the circumference of the wheel, the 2 outer rays also form an angle. So the possible total is 31 angles.
136 * * * * * Actually there are 17*16 = 272 angles. Assuming the rays do not meet at 180 degrees, each pair of rays forms two angles: one less than 180 deg and one greater.
Assuming none of the rays meet at 180 degrees, each pair of rays gives rise to two angles: one less than 180 deg and one greater. There can, therefore, be a maximum of 30*29 = 870 angles. (There are 435 unique pairs of rays: ab, ac, ad...bc, bd, be, etc.)
