How to find the degree of an angle?

Measure it ?

To find the degree of an angle, you will need to determine the measurement of the angle in degrees. Here are some steps to help you do that:

1. Identify the angle: Locate the angle you want to measure. It can be a part of a geometric shape or a standalone angle.

2. Use a protractor: To measure the angle, you will need a protractor. Place the center of the protractor over the vertex (the point where two rays of the angle originate) of the angle.

3. Align the baseline: Ensure that the baseline of the protractor is aligned with one of the rays of the angle. Make sure the zero-degree mark on the protractor is also aligned with this ray.

4. Read the measurement: Look at the inner or outer scale of the protractor. Read the value where the second ray of the angle intersects the scale. This reading represents the measurement of the angle in degrees.

5. Determine the degree of the angle: The reading on the protractor scale indicates the degree measure of the angle. For example, if the reading is 45 degrees, the angle measures 45 degrees.

Note: If the angle goes beyond 180 degrees, it is considered a reflex angle. In this case, you would need to subtract the measurement from 360 degrees to get the actual angle measurement.

It is worth mentioning that there are also special angles with commonly known degrees, such as a right angle measuring 90 degrees or a straight angle measuring 180 degrees.
