9.06 Measure and compare angles

Lesson

Are you ready?

Do you remember how to estimate angles?

Which angle is greater than $180$180 degrees? 

  1. A

    B

    C

Learn

Let's see how we can compare two angles of a skateboard ramp!

 

Apply

question 1

Which of these angles is larger?

  1. A

    B

 

Learn

We can measure the exact angle, using a special tool called a protractor. Let's see how to use one.

Question 2

What is the angle being measured by this protractor?

  1. $\editable{}$ degrees

 

Remember!

A protractor is an instrument that allows us to measure an angle. Start with one arm of the angle on the $0^\circ$0° line and read the amount of turn required to reach the second arm.
