Question 830536: Well, our teacher is giving us this sheet, but I do not know how to do it or understand it. " Use your eight unit protractor ( its out of paper) to measure the angle between the leg of your desk/table and the floor.
b) Find an angle in your house that is larger than the angle in part a) (That was the one above) and Describe where you found that angle. Measure the angle with your paper 8 unit protractor. Record it's measure.
c) Find an angle in your house that is smaller than the angle that you found in part a). Describe where you found it. Measure the angle with your 8 unit protractor. Record it's measure. I don't know how to do it. Please help! P.S it is due tomorrow

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) I assume the floor is perfectly horizontal.
If the legs of of your desk/table are perfectly vertical, the angle measured in part a) would be .
However, The legs of your desk/table may be a little wider apart at the floor than at the top. In that case, I suppose you are expected to measure is the smallest angle.
That would be the angle.

b) and c) You should choose smaller and larger angles, depending on what the legs of your desk are like.
Houses are usually full of angles between the walls and the floor.
If your desk's legs are perfectly vertical, then you will have to look for angles smaller and larger than .
In my house, the frame around some doors looks like this:
where the pieces that make the frame have and angles.
Picture frames have those angles too.
The angles should work for part b),
and the angles should work for part c).
Other angles:
In my house there are also slanted ceilings that make angles with the walls.
