Lesson 19 — Activity 3: Drawing Angles
You can also use the protractor when drawing angles.
*Note: You will need a protractor for this lesson. Please get your protractor now, and then return to the lesson. If you do not have a protractor, click here to download a paper version that you can cut out.
Here are the steps to drawing an
angle
:
-
Draw a straight line (e.g., an arm of the
angle).
-
Place a dot at one end of the arm.
-
Place the centre of the protractor at the
vertex
dot and the
baseline of the protractor along the arm of the
angle.
-
Find the required
angle
on the scale and then mark a small dot at the edge of the protractor.
-
Join the small dot to the
vertex
with a ruler to form the second arm of the
angle.
