Let’s go through each angle one by one. You’re given a straight line (like the bottom of a clock at 3 o’clock) and you need to draw another line from the same starting point to make the exact angle shown.
We’ll use a protractor for each — imagine placing it on the dot where the line starts, with the 0° mark lined up along the existing line. Then find the degree number they gave you and draw a new line there.
---
1) 35°
- Put your protractor’s center on the dot.
- Line up the 0° with the existing line (pointing right).
- Find 35° going counterclockwise (upward).
- Draw a line from the dot through that 35° mark.
✔ Done! That’s your 35° angle.

2) 10°
- Same setup: protractor centered, 0° aligned with the line.
- This time, 10° is very close to the original line — just a tiny bit upward.
- Mark 10° and draw the line.
✔ Very small angle — almost flat, but slightly tilted up.
---
3) 145°
- Again, start with protractor centered and 0° on the line.
- Now, 145° is more than halfway around — past 90° (straight up), almost to 180° (backwards).
- Go counterclockwise until you hit 145°.
- Draw the line.
✔ This will look like a wide “V” opening to the left.
---
4) 125°
- Similar to above, but not quite as wide.
- 125° is between 90° and 180° — so still pointing left-up, but not as far as 145°.
- Measure carefully from 0°, go counterclockwise to 125°, draw line.
✔ Slightly less open than #3.
---
5) 75°
- Start again: protractor centered, 0° on the line.
- 75° is less than 90° — so it’s in the upper-right area, but closer to vertical than horizontal.
- Mark 75° and draw.
✔ Looks like a steep ramp going up to the right.
---
6) 60°
- Even simpler — 60° is exactly halfway between 0° and 90°? No — wait, 45° is halfway. So 60° is a bit steeper than halfway.
- From 0°, go up to 60° and draw.
✔ Classic triangle angle — think of an equilateral triangle corner.

You don’t need to calculate anything here — just measure and draw using your protractor. Make sure your lines are straight and start from the dot!
Final Answer:
For each problem, use a protractor to draw a second ray from the endpoint of the given ray, measuring the specified angle (35°, 10°, 145°, 125°, 75°, or 60°) counterclockwise from the original ray.
