Measuring Angles

Steps to Measure an Angle Using a Protractor:
Measuring an Angle ∠ABC

  1. Positioning the Protractor:
    Place the protractor so that the midpoint of its straight edge aligns with the vertex B of the angle.
  2. Aligning the Base Ray:
    Adjust the protractor so that ray BC coincides with the straight edge of the protractor.
  3. Choosing the Correct Scale:
    Identify the appropriate scale on the protractor, ensuring that the 0° mark aligns with ray BC.
  4. Reading the Angle Measure:
    Observe the point where ray BA intersects the curved edge of the protractor, indicating the degree measure of the angle.

Thus, the angle is recorded as m∠ABC = 40°, or simply ∠ABC = 40°.
