Using the information on the protractor, explain how to determine the measurement of the angle. What is the measure of the angle?
(2 points)
To determine the measurement of an angle using a protractor, follow these steps:
1. Place the protractor flat on the surface with the center hole directly over the vertex of the angle.
2. Locate the baseline of the protractor, which is the straight line running across the bottom.
3. Align the baseline of the protractor with one side of the angle, making sure the side intersects with the center hole.
4. Observe the outer scale of the protractor, which has markings in degrees on both sides ranging from 0° to 180°.
5. Determine where the other side of the angle intersects with the outer scale. Read the degree value at this point.
The measure of the angle is the degree value that corresponds to where the other side of the angle intersects with the outer scale of the protractor.
