Curved Edge
 Step 1:
Place the center hole
over the vertex of
the angle
 Step 2:
Line up (make
parallel) the straight
edge with one side
of the angle
 Step 3:
Find the point where
the second side of
the angle intersects
with the curved
edge
 Step 4:
Read the number on
the protractor to find
the measure of the
angle
 Drawing
Angles with a
Protractor
 Step 1:
Draw a ray with the
straight edge of the
protractor
 Step 2:
Place the center hole
over the starting
point of the ray
 Step 3:
Place a dot at the
angle measure
required
 Step 3:
Line up the straight
edge over the
starting point of the
ray and the dot
 Step 4:
Draw a ray connecting
the two marks. The
point at which they
meet is called the
vertex
 Try this:
Draw an angle which
measures 120 o
