Understanding Protractor Usage

This video tutorial by Mr. J explains how to use a protractor to measure angles. It covers three main steps: aligning the center point with the vertex, aligning the baseline with an arm of the angle, and reading the angle measurement. The video also discusses how to interpret tick marks on the protractor for precise measurements. By the end, viewers will understand how to accurately measure angles using a protractor.

What is the main topic of the video?

• Using a ruler to measure angles

• Using a calculator for math problems

• Using a protractor to measure angles

• Using a compass to draw circles

What is the first step in using a protractor?

• Drawing the angle

• Reading the angle measurement

• Aligning the center point with the vertex

• Aligning the baseline with the angle

What is the significance of the center point on a protractor?

• It is used to draw circles

• It is used to measure the angle

• It is used to align with the vertex of the angle

• It marks the end of the protractor

What is another name for the arms of an angle?

• Vertices

• Rays

• Lines

• Points

What is the purpose of the baseline on a protractor?

• To measure the length of the angle

• To serve as a starting point for measuring angles

• To mark the center of the protractor

• To draw straight lines

How do you determine if an angle is obtuse?

• It is a straight line

• It is greater than 90 degrees

• It is exactly 90 degrees

• It is less than 90 degrees

Which numbers should you use if the baseline is on the outside track?

• Inside numbers

• Both inside and outside numbers

• Neither

• Outside numbers

What do the tick marks between the numbers on a protractor represent?

• 15 degrees

• 5 degrees

• 1 degree

• 10 degrees

What is the smallest increment marked on a protractor?

• 10 degrees

• 0.5 degrees

• 5 degrees

• 1 degree

What should you do if an arm of the angle aligns with the baseline?

• Use the inside numbers

• Use the outside numbers

• Ignore the baseline

• Use both sets of numbers
