Measuring Angles in 4th Grade Math

This video tutorial introduces the use of protractors for measuring angles. It outlines the steps to accurately measure angles and provides several practice problems to reinforce learning. The video also covers constructing specific angles and encourages viewers to practice their skills.

What tool is described as better than rulers for measuring angles?

• Tape measure

• Set square

• Protractor

• Compass

What is the first step in measuring an angle with a protractor?

• Align the protractor's center with the vertex

• Determine the scale

• Read the measurement

• Mark the angle with a pencil

How do you decide which scale to use on a protractor?

• Use the scale that starts with zero

• Always use the outside scale

• Depends on the direction the ray is pointing

• Always use the inside scale

What is the correct way to place a protractor for measuring angles?

• Place it randomly and adjust later

• Center the protractor on the angle's vertex

• Align the straight edge with the base of the angle

• Ensure the protractor's edge is parallel to one ray

What was the measure of angle N?

• 45 degrees

• 55 degrees

• 75 degrees

• 65 degrees

When measuring an angle, what indicates you should use the outside scale of a protractor?

• The angle is less than 90 degrees

• The ray points to the left

• The ray points to the right

• The angle is more than 90 degrees

What was the measure of angle P?

• 130 degrees

• 140 degrees

• 150 degrees

• 120 degrees

How do you find the measure of angle Q?

• Measure directly without calculations

• Subtract the smaller degree from the larger

• Use the inside scale only

• Add the degrees between the two rays

Which angle measurement is closest to 45 degrees?

• An obtuse angle

• Between 135 and 45 degrees

• Between 145 and 45 degrees

• Between 70 and 25 degrees

To construct a 75-degree angle, through which point should the second ray pass?

• Point R

• Point S

• Point T

• Point U
