Best Answer

Use a protractor, or computer software such as GeoGebra (available for free).

To draw an an angle of specified measure with a protractor:

  1. Draw a straight line
  2. Place a dot at one end of the line. The dot represents the vertex of the angle.
  3. Place the center of the protractor at the vertex dot and the baseline of the protractor along line you drew (an arm of the angle).
  4. Find the required angle on the scale and then mark a small dot at the edge of the protractor.
  5. Join the small dot to the vertex with a ruler to form the second arm of the angle.
  6. Label the angle with capital letters.

What is a protractor angle?

A "protractor" is a device that can be used to draw angles of a specified size, or measure the size of unknown angles, in the same way that a "ruler" is used to do the same thing with lines.


How do you draw a reflex angle?

When an angle is drawn a small arc is normally placed near the vertex between the arms to show the angle. A reflex angle is one greater than 180°, so draw the two arms as normal and then draw a small arc around the vertex of the angle "outside" the arms of the angle, ie around the angle which is greater than 180° If the problem is how to draw the reflex angle with a protractor that only goes up to 180°, then note that "360° - the reflex angle" gives an angle which is less than 180° and can be measure by the 180° protractor. Draw one arm of the angle, measure the calculated angle (eg if the reflex angle was 200°, 360° - 200° = 160°, so measure 160°), draw the other arm, and then draw an arc around the vertex "outside" the arms to show the reflex angle (in the example, the 200° angle).


What is the vertex angle if one angle measures 42 degrees?

Any measure you like. The shape has not been specified properly.


How do you draw a 331 degree angle?

Since a full circle is 360°, a 331° angle is the outside measure of a 29° angle.


How do you you find the measure of a angle?

That's a very unspecific question. Is it just an angle? Is it part of a polygon? Are the measurements specified? You could measure it with a protractor if that's what you're asking.


How do you draw a reflex angle that measures 245 degrees?

If you have a 360o protractor, you draw one side of the angle, measure 245o round from this line and then draw in the other side of the angle, and then mark a small arc around the reflex angle. If you only have a 180o protractor, you start again by drawing one side of the angle; then you measure 360o - 245o = 115o the "wrong way" round from this line to give the 245o the right way and draw in the other side, and then mark a small arc around the reflex angle.


What is used to draw right angles?

I generally use a pencil and ruler. To construct the right angle to draw it I also use compasses. To measure the right angle to draw it I also use a protractor.


Why would it be too vague to draw the conclusion that increasing the angle of the ramp will increase the speed of a toy car?

Drag variables are not specified .


Can you draw an equilateral acute triangle?

Yes because the measure of each angle in an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees which is an acute angle.


How would you draw a reflex angle that measures 245?

360 minus 245 = 115 the measure


How do you draw an arc with a given length and known radius?

The length of an arc equals he angle (in radians) times the radius. Divide the length by the radius, and that gives you the ange. Measure out the angle on a protractor and draw the length of the radius at the begining and end of the angle. Then draw theportion of the circle with its center at the location ofthe angle and extending out to the radius.
