How i measure an angle with a potractor?

To measure an angle: # Align the bottom line of the protractor with one ray of the angle being measured. # Center the central point along the bottom of the protractor with the junction of the angle being measured. # Find where the other ray of the angle crosses the rounded part of the protractor. The numbered mark at which it crosses is the number of degrees of the angle being measured.

What is the adjacent side of a right triangle?

A right angled triangle has three sides. The naming of these sides is dependant on which angle you are observing. The first side is named the opposite and is the side which is not in contact with the angle that is being observed (each angle is in contact with ONLY two sides) The second side is the hypotenuse which is the side opposite to the right angle. Also termed the diagonal, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle. The third side, the one you are interested in, is the adjacent side which is the angle which is in contact with the angle being observed which ISN'T the hypotenuse or the opposite. It can be determined by a process of elimination in that there are two sides in contact with the observed angle.
