Measuring An Angle With The Protractor: Solution

To measure an angle with a protractor, place the midpoint of the protractor on the vertex of the angle. Line up one side of the angle with the zero line of the protractor. Read the degrees where the other side crosses the number scale. The document provides examples of measuring angles of 17 degrees and 132 degrees using this process.

Measuring an angle with the protractor

Definition

An angle is formed when two lines intersect in a point. The rays emerging from the common
point called vertex are the arms of the angle.

The magnitude of how big or small an angle is given by its measure in degrees or some
other units

We place the midpoint of the protractor on the vertex of the angle.

Then we line up one side of the angle with the zero line of the protractor.

We then read the degrees where the other side crosses the number scale.

Example 1:

Measure the following angle using a protractor.

Solution
Step 1:

Line up one ray with 0°. Read the angle measurement where the other ray crosses the
protractor.

Step 2:

Reading from the protractor, the given angle measures 17°.
