Using Protractor

The document explains how to measure angles using a protractor, detailing the steps involved in placing the protractor and aligning it with the angle's arms. It describes the use of both the inner and outer scales for measurement. Examples of measuring angles of 55° and 115° are provided to illustrate the process.

Using Protractor

Measuring angles
We draw and measure angles with a protractor.
It has an inner scale and an outer scale.

0° to 180°

This is the
zero line
0° to 180°

This is the
vertex
To measure angles with a protractor:

A
1) Place the vertex of the protractor on the
vertex of the angle.

2) Align the zero line of the protractor with


one of the arms of the angle.

3) Choose the scale which points to 0 on the


arm of the angle (here, inner scale).

B C 4) Count the division marked as pointed by


the other arm of the angle.

∠ 𝐴𝐵𝐶=55 °
