Measuring angles with a protractor can be really easy once you learn how to do it! Here’s a simple guide to help you out:

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

• You’ll need a protractor, a pencil, and maybe a ruler if you want.

Step 2: Place the Protractor

• Put the protractor so that the small hole in the middle is right on the point where the two lines of the angle meet. This point is called the vertex.

Step 3: Align the Baseline

• Make sure one side of the angle lines up with the straight edge of the protractor. This is important for getting the right measurement.

Step 4: Read the Angle

• Look carefully at the numbers on the protractor. There are usually two sets of numbers: one set goes clockwise and the other goes counterclockwise.
• Pick the right set based on which way your angle opens.
• Find where the other side of the angle crosses the protractor and read the angle measurement.

Step 5: Record the Measurement

• Write down the angle measurement in degrees (°). For instance, if it crosses at 40°, that’s your angle!

Step 6: Double-Check

• Always double-check your measurement to make sure it’s correct!

By following these steps, measuring angles with a protractor can be super simple. Enjoy measuring!
