The straight edge of the protractor lines up with a ray of the angle.
How many degrees is this angle? Explain how you know.
An angle contains thirty angles. How many degrees is this angle?
Activity 2
Here are 4 angles. A protractor has been placed over each angle. Measure the size of each angle in degrees.
Elena and Kiran measure an angle with a protractor. Elena says the angle is . Kiran says the angle is . Why are the measurements different? Which measurement is correct? Explain your reasoning.
