Measuring Angles: Degrees and Types

The video tutorial explains how angles can be measured in degrees and radians, focusing on degrees. It introduces right and straight angles, explains why a full rotation is 360 degrees, and demonstrates how to measure angles using a protractor. The tutorial also clarifies the use of the inner and outer semicircles on a protractor for measuring different types of angles.

What is the degree measure of a right angle?

• 45 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 360 degrees

How do you position an angle under a protractor to measure it?

• Vertex outside the protractor, arms aligned

• Arms aligned with the protractor's edges

• Vertex at the center, one arm at 180 degrees

• Vertex at the center, one arm at 0 degrees

Why are there two sets of angle measurements on a protractor?

• For convenience

• All of the above

• For measuring acute and obtuse angles

• To measure angles more than 180 degrees

What would happen if a protractor had only one set of angles?

• It would be cheaper to produce

• It would be easier to use

• It would be more accurate

• It would limit the measurement capabilities

How is the angle measured when using the outer semicircle of a protractor?

• It measures from 0 to 180 degrees starting from the left

• It measures from 0 to 360 degrees

• It measures from 0 to 180 degrees starting from the right

• None of the above

What is the purpose of the zero angle position on a protractor?

• To mark the beginning of an angle measurement

• To enhance the design of the protractor

• To indicate the maximum angle

• To support the protractor on the paper
