Using a Protractor for Angles

This video tutorial by Mr. J teaches how to draw angles using a protractor. It covers the process in four simple steps and demonstrates with three examples: drawing 60°, 110°, and 145° angles. Each example is explained step-by-step, ensuring the viewer understands how to use a protractor to measure and draw angles accurately.

What is the first step in drawing an angle using a protractor?

• Mark the correct angle measurement

• Draw the first arm of the angle

• Draw the second arm of the angle

• Align the protractor with the baseline

When drawing a 60° angle, which numbers on the protractor should you use?

• Outside numbers

• Inside numbers

• Both inside and outside numbers

• Neither, use a ruler

What type of angle is a 110° angle?

• Obtuse

• Right

• Acute

• Straight

How do you determine which 110° mark to use on the protractor?

• Use the inside numbers

• Use the outside numbers

• Use the middle numbers

• Use the numbers closest to the baseline

What is the final step in drawing an angle with a protractor?

• Mark the angle measurement

• Connect the dots to draw the second arm

• Draw the first arm

• Align the protractor

For a 145° angle, which numbers on the protractor should be used?

• Outside numbers

• Neither, use a ruler

• Inside numbers

• Both inside and outside numbers

What is the purpose of marking a dot at the vertex of the angle?

• To indicate the midpoint

• To label the angle

• To show where the protractor should be aligned

• To mark the end of the second arm

How can you verify the accuracy of the angle you have drawn?

• By estimating visually

• By realigning the protractor and checking the measurement

• By checking it against a template

• By measuring it with a ruler

What is the significance of the baseline on the protractor?

• It helps in drawing the second arm

• It is used to measure the length of the angle

• It is used to align the protractor with the first arm

• It marks the midpoint of the protractor

What should you do if the angle measurement is not accurate?

• Redraw the angle from scratch

• Ignore the error

• Use a different protractor

• Adjust the protractor and recheck the measurement
