Unfortunately there is no consistent direction: it depends on the context.
If dealing with bearings (eg navigation) North is 000 degrees and the angle is measured in the clockwise direction starting from the Northward direction.
In the context of coordinate geometry, particularly if working with polar coordinates, angles are measured in the anti-clockwise direction, starting with the x-axis (pointing East) as 0 degrees.
Generally speaking, though, angles may be measured in any direction.

The of an angle is the difference between the direction of its two sides?
measure
How do you measure a angle?
you can measure a angle with a protracte.
The measure of an acute angle is half the measure of an obtuse angle.What is the measure of an obtuse angle?
The measure of the obtuse angle would then be double that of the acute angle.
What does a straight angle measure?
What does a straight angle measure?
Angle in clockwise direction?
right angle
What direction of rotation produces a negative measure of an angle?
Clockwise.
The of an angle is the difference between the direction of its two sides?
measure
How do you describe the direction of rotation when the measure of an angle is positive?
Anticlockwise.
What does it mean when an angle is negative?
An angle is a measure of turn. the amount of turn is the magnitude, measured in degrees, and direction of turn can be clockwise or anti-clockwise. A positive angle turns in an anti-clockwise direction while a negative angle turns in a clockwise direction.
What units to you measure wind direction?
Wind direction is described in terms of the compass direction,or the angle relative to North, from which the wind is arriving.
Which direction does longitude measure?
The longitude of a place describes its angle east or west, starting at the Prime Meridian.
Is angle scalar or vector?
Almost all of us would say that angle is a scalar quantity. But the beauty is that angle is a vector quantity. Now the question arises. Where will be the direction? As we measure the angle in a plane in counter clockwise direction, then direction of angle vector will be perpendicular to the plane and coming out of the surface. If the angle is measured in clockwise then vector would go into the surface normally. As angle becomes vector then angular velocity w = @/t also becomes a vector.
What is the degree measure of a four right angle turn?
0, 180 or 360 degrees - depending on the direction of the turns.
Explain what the measure of an angle is?
the measure of an angle is the degrees of an angle.

What is the relationship between the measure of an angle and the reflex measure of the angle?
they both measure the angle in degrees
