Measuring an angle with a protractor

Measuring an angle with a protractor.

  • Use the stated properties and diagram markings, rather than judging by appearance.
  • Matching ticks mean equal lengths; matching arrows mean parallel lines.
  • A small square marks a right angle. Keep labels horizontal and include units.

Example 1

Read the acute or obtuse angle, starting from 0° on the right.
