Hello, I hope this will help you understand how to measure with a protractor! =)
A protractor is a tool that allows you to measure an angle or construct an angle of a given measure.
To Measure an Angle
Steps:
1. Find the center hole on the straight edge of the protractor.
2. Place the hole over the vertex, or point, of the angle you wish to measure.
3. Line up the zero on the straight edge of the protractor with one of the sides of the angle.
4. Find the point where the second side of the angle intersects the curved edge of the protractor.
5. Read the number that is written on the protractor at the point of intersection. This is the measure of the angle in degrees.
Tips:
There are 360 degrees in a circle.
A straight line measures 180 degrees.
The corner of a square measures 90 degrees. This is called a right angle.
Angles that measure fewer than 90 degrees are called acute angles. Those measuring more than 90 degrees are called obtuse angles.
