Explanation:
We need to match each protractor diagram (1–5) with the correct angle measure from the list: 45°, 36°, 119°, 70°, 140°.

To read a protractor:
- The angle is measured from the baseline (the straight edge, usually aligned with 0° on the right or left).
- We look at where the second ray (the pink line) points on the scale.
- Most protractors have two scales: inner (0° on right → increases leftward) and outer (0° on left → increases rightward).
→ Since the baseline in all diagrams is horizontal with the vertex at the center, and the pink ray goes upward-left or upward-right, we use the scale that starts at 0° where the baseline is placed.

Let’s go one by one:

1) Diagram 1:
Baseline points to the left (0° on left side), pink ray points upward-left.
The ray aligns with 45° on the outer scale (since 0° is on left, moving counterclockwise: 0°, 10°, ..., 45°).
So 1 → 45°

2) Diagram 2:
Baseline points to the right (0° on right), pink ray points upward-right.
So we use the inner scale (0° on right, increasing leftward).
The ray lands at 36° (just past 30°, before 40° — looks like 36°).
So 2 → 36°

3) Diagram 3:
Baseline to the right (0° on right), pink ray points upward-left — so we read the inner scale going counterclockwise from 0° on right.
The ray points near 119°: between 110° and 120°, closer to 120°, but not quite — 119° fits.
So 3 → 119°

4) Diagram 4:
Baseline to the left (0° on left), pink ray points upward-right — use outer scale (0° on left, increasing clockwise).
The ray lands just past 70° (between 60° and 80°, clearly at 70°).
So 4 → 70°

5) Diagram 5:
Baseline to the right (0° on right), pink ray points upward-left — use inner scale.
The ray is between 130° and 150°, clearly at 140° (10° before 150°).
So 5 → 140°

All angles match uniquely.

Final Answer:
1 → 45°
2 → 36°
3 → 119°
4 → 70°
5 → 140°
