MEASURING AND

DRAWING ANGLES
USING A PROTRACTOR

CLASS- V
MEASURING ANGLES
The size of an angle is usually measured in degrees (°).
Think of a circle which is divided into 360 equal
sectors. Each sector has a small angle at the center of
the circle – the size of such angle is 1 degree (written:
1°). In other words, the size of an angle is a measure
of how wide the angle is at the vertex bound by the
two sides.
What is a protractor?
Measure an Angle using a Protractor
1.Place the midpoint of the protractor on the VERTEX of the
angle.
2.Line up one side of the angle with the zero line of the
protractor (where you see the number 0).
3.Read the degrees where the other side crosses the number
scale.
Draw an Angle using a Protractor

Example:

Draw an angle of 40°.


Step I: First we draw a ray XY.
Step II: Place the protractor in such a way that its
straight horizontal edge is placed on XY and its centre
is on X .
Step III: Starting from zero from the right, we start
reading the scale on the protractor. We mark a point at
40° mark on the paper .
Step IV: Name the point marked say, O and join the
points O and X with the help a scale. ∠OXY = 40°.
