Understanding Angles and Protractors

The video tutorial explains how to measure angles using a protractor. It begins with an introduction to angles and protractors, followed by a method to estimate angles using a piece of paper. The tutorial then provides a detailed guide on measuring angles with a protractor, highlighting the importance of aligning the protractor correctly. It concludes by addressing common mistakes in angle measurement and how to avoid them.

What is the primary function of a protractor?

• To calculate the area of a shape

• To draw straight lines

• To measure the opening of an angle

• To measure the length of an object

How many degrees are there in a full circle as marked on a protractor?

• 180 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 270 degrees

What type of angle is formed when the corner of a piece of paper aligns perfectly with an angle?

• Obtuse angle

• Right angle

• Acute angle

• Straight angle

When measuring an angle with a protractor, where should the vertex of the angle be placed?

• At the edge of the protractor

• At the zero mark

• At the center of the straight edge

• At the 90-degree mark

If an angle is less than 90 degrees, what type of angle is it?

• Obtuse angle

• Acute angle

• Reflex angle

• Right angle

What should you do if the ray you are measuring does not reach a number on the protractor?

• Ignore the measurement

• Estimate the angle

• Extend the straight line

• Use a different protractor

What is a common mistake when using a protractor to measure angles?

• Not aligning the protractor with the zero mark

• Using the wrong side of the protractor

• Starting from the 90-degree mark

• Measuring from the center of the protractor

If an angle measures 120 degrees, what type of angle is it?

• Obtuse angle

• Straight angle

• Right angle

• Acute angle

What should you ensure when aligning a protractor to measure an angle?

• The protractor is aligned with the 90-degree mark

• The protractor is aligned with the zero mark

• The protractor is horizontal

• The protractor is vertical

What is the correct angle measurement if the protractor is not aligned properly and shows 50 degrees?

• 50 degrees

• 80 degrees

• 130 degrees

• 100 degrees
