To solve this problem, we need to read the measurement on each protractor and match it to the correct angle value from the list on the right.
How to read a protractor:
1. Look at where the bottom line of the angle sits. It is on the zero line.
2. Check which number scale starts at
0.
* If the zero is on the
right, use the
inner numbers (the smaller ones inside).
* If the zero is on the
left, use the
outer numbers (the larger ones outside).
3. Follow the other line of the angle up to see what number it points to.
Let's go through them one by one:
1. The bottom line is on the right side. We start at 0 on the inner scale. The top line points to
140.
* Match:
140°
2. The bottom line is on the left side. We start at 0 on the outer scale. The top line points straight up to
90.
* Match:
90°
3. The bottom line is on the right side. We start at 0 on the inner scale. The top line points to
160.
* Match:
160°
4. The bottom line is on the right side. We start at 0 on the inner scale. The top line points to
20.
* Match:
20°
5. The bottom line is on the left side. We start at 0 on the outer scale. The top line points to
45 (it is halfway between 40 and 50).
* Match:
45°
Final Answer:
1. 140°
2. 90°
3. 160°
4. 20°
5. 45°
