Normally, you should be able to use a protractor ( a half circle shaped piece that has a lot of marks around the curved part.) Find the vertex of the angle (the spot two lines come together) On the flat pat of the protractor, there should be a dot in the middle. Put the vertex there. Now, line one of the lines up with the bottom of the angle, making sure you keep the dot on the vertex. Next, find the other line. follow it up to the curved part. There will be marks there that have numbers on them; find the one that matches up with your line. Those marks have marks, which are the degrees, or measures, of the angle. Now, you know the measure of your angle.

Yes. Similar figures are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size; their angles are equal.


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.

Are congruent angles angles that have measure?

Yes, congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.


A congruent angle is always 90?

A pair of congruent angles are those which measure the same size. Therefore, two congruent angles can be of any size, as long as they are of an identical size.Angles of 90 degrees are commonly referred to as "right angles".
