Construction of an Angle using a Protractor
We will learn how to construction of an angle using a
protractor.
Let us draw an angle whose measure is 60°. Use a ruler to draw
YZ.
Now, place the protractor over YZ such that the baseline of the protractor coincides with YZ and midpoint of the baseline coincides with point Y.
Mark a point X where you find 60 on the protractor. Now, join X and Y with the help of a ruler. We ∠XYZ = 60°.
Let us draw an angle EFG measuring 120°. Draw a ray EF. Place
the protractor over EF such that the baseline of the protractor coincides with
EF and the midpoint of the baseline coincides with point F. Read markings on
the outer semicircle of the protractor and mark point G on 120°.
Join F and G with the help of a ruler. We have ∠EFG = 120°.

Types of angles are discussed here in this lesson. Angles are classified on the basis of their measures. Acute Angle: An angle whose measure is less than 90° is called an acute angle. Right Angle: An angle whose measure is 90° is called right angle.

In measuring an angle by a protractor, first we need to know what a protractor is.It is an instrument for measuring or constructing an angle of a given measure. It is a circular or semicircular piece of metal or plastic.

Angle is discussed here in details. In our daily life we come across different objects having two arms hinged at a point. For example, hands of a clock, two arms of a divider, and two sharp edges of a scissors are all hinged at a point and thus are inclined to each other.
