Product Information

The bevel protractor is used to establish and test angles to very close tolerances. It reads to 5 arcminutes (5′ or 1 / 12°) and can measure angles from 0° to 360°. Use a protractor to measure the angle from the left-hand endpoint of the given side, mark it with a cross and draw a line from the endpoint through this mark.

This is used on protractors to enable them to give more precise and accurate measurements. In the Vernier scale, each graduation represents 0.02 mm or 1/12 of a degree. The Vernier scale is found underneath the main degree scale and is spaced so it reads at a constant fraction of the fixed main scale. Obtuse Angles: Obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.They are often used in architecture and engineering, as well as in art and design.For example, an obtuse angle can be used to create a sense of depth in a painting. Modern rehabilitative therapy motion capture systems perform goniometry at the very least measuring active range of motion. [11] While in some cases accuracy may be inferior to a goniometer, measuring angles with a motion capture system is superior at measuring during dynamic, as opposed to static situations. Furthermore, using a traditional goniometer takes valuable time. In the clinical context, performing manual measurements takes valuable time and may not be practical.

Angles Glossary

Use a protractor to measure the angle on the right-hand endpoint of the given side, mark it with a cross and draw a line from the endpoint through this mark. Use a protractor to measure the given angle from the left-hand endpoint of the longest given side, mark it with a cross and draw a line from the endpoint through this cross.

but this can be changed by selecting a different number of lines. A standard school problem is to have one For other uses, see Goniometer (disambiguation). Goniometer made by Develey le Jeune in Lausanne, late 18th–early 19th century A protractor in math is a very useful tool for measuring angles of different shapes, such as triangles, squares, hexagons, and others. How Do You Draw an Angle Using a Protractor Example 1: Find the measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle with the help of a protractor. The make-up of the Constructing Triangles resource has been tailored to ensure it functions at a high level in a home learning environment. This means that the explanatory information given, the tasks provided and detailed answers laid out in the resource have been made to foster a healthy attitude to independent learning.In the above image, the angle opens up to the right and is acute. We know to use the scale on the inside because the measurements are increasing as you move towards the line and they’re less than 90°.

A protractor in geometry is generally in the shape of a semi-circle which is divided into 180 equal parts and each part measures one degree. Hence, the ordinary protractor in a geometry box measures angles up to 180 o. Protractors that we find in our geometry box are generally made of plastic but they are also made of wood, steel and in some cases glass. Most protractors measure the angle in degrees but there are few protractors available that can measure angles in radian, they are known as Radian-scale protractors. Jones, A (2014). "Concurrent validity and reliability of the simple goniometer iphone app compared with the universal goniometer" (PDF). Physiotherapy: Theory and Practice. 30 (7): 512–516. doi: 10.3109/09593985.2014.900835. hdl: 2328/37026. PMID 24666408. S2CID 28719817.

If the line doesn’t extend past the protractor’s arc, lengthen it with a ruler. Or, line the edge of a piece of paper along the line.
