Learning Activities (Activating Prior Knowledge)


This activity is an introductory part of measuring the angle that can be found in your name. Do
this activity as presented and answer each question that follows. Note that this is not to be
recorded nor to be submitted.
Activity. What’s in a Name?
Prepare first a graphing paper, ballpen, and protractor. Write your name or nickname in block
letters (all straight lines) on the paper. Then, using a protractor, measure all the angles you can
find in your names. See the figure below for an example.

Learning Probe (Analysis)


This activity is in connection with the previous exercise. Answer these questions based on what
you have learned/experienced from the previous activity. Note that this is not recorded nor
submitted.
Were you able to measure the angles correctly using your protractor? How did you find the
degree measure of an angle?
What are the units used in measuring angles?

Learning Time (Acquire New Knowledge)


Are you familiar with the following situations?
• You hold your ballpen at an angle n such a way that you can write smoothly on a writing
pad.
• You tilt your umbrella at an angle that would prevent the rain from getting you wet.
• A nurse adjusts a hospital bed to create an angle that is comfortable for a patient.

We use angles in our daily activities in more ways than we realize. So what do you mean by an
angle?

Did you know?


Angle is derived from the Latin word angulus, which means corner, is defined as a figure
formed when two rays share a common endpoint called the vertex. Angles are measured either
in degree or radian measures.
Angles are formed when two rays on the same line meet or intersect at a common
endpoint.
Here are some examples of angles:
Figure 2. Angles

We can specify an angle by using a point on each ray and the vertex. The angle below may
be named as angle ABC or as angle CBA; you may also see this written as ∠ABC or ∠CBA. Note
how the vertex point is always given in the middle. The figure below shows an angle ABC formed
by ray and ray intersecting at a common endpoint B, the vertex.

How to measure angles using a protractor?

We measure the size of an angle using degrees. A protractor is a device with a half circle
and is used to determine an angle in degrees.
In using the protractor, make sure that the crossbar in the middle of the protractor is
aligned with the vertex. One of the legs of the angle is aligned with one side passing through the
crossbar. Its other leg determines the measurement of the angle.
Step by step:
• Place the midpoint of the protractor on the VERTEX of the angle.
• Line up one side of the angle with the protractor's zero lines (where you see the number
0).
• Read the degrees where the other side crosses the number scale.

Place your protractor over the angle like this.

Note:
Most protractors have two scales. The outer layer scale is used when the terminal side is
positioned counter-clockwise (the same as the figure above). In contrast, the inner layer scale is
used when the terminal side is clockwise.

Example 1: Measure the following angle using your protractor.

Solution:
• Place the midpoint of the protractor on the vertex M of the angle.
• Line up one side of the angle with the zero lines of the protractor (the ray JM)
• Read the degrees where the other side crosses the number scale.

Thus the measurement of the angle given is 45°. (m∠JMD = 45°)

Example 2: Measure the following angle using your protractor.


Solution:
• Place the midpoint of the protractor on the vertex A of the angle.
• Line up one side of the angle with the zero lines of the protractor (the ray AS)
• Read the degrees where the other side crosses the number scale.

Thus the measurement of the angle given is 60°. ( m∠SAO = 60°)

Example 3: Make a 93° angle using a protractor.


Solution:
Draw a ray, say ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑌𝑋 . Place the center of the protractor over Y. Align the mark labeled 0 on
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ . Mark a point Z along the line made by the scale marked 93.
the right side of the scale with 𝑌𝑋
Draw ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑌𝑍. Thus, m∠XYZ = 93°.

Example 4: Draw a 173° angle using a protractor.


Solution:
Draw a ray, say ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐵 . Place the center of the protractor over A. Align the mark labeled 0 on
the right side of the scale with 𝐴𝐵⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ . Mark a point C along the line made by the scale marked 173.
Draw 𝐴𝐶⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ . Thus, m∠BAC = 173°.
