Angle RVT is a right angle. Explain how to use a protractor to find the measure of angle RVS. What is the measure of angle RVS?

To find the measure of angle RVS using a protractor, you can follow these steps:

  1. Align the Protractor: Place the center hole of the protractor (often marked with a small circle) over the vertex point V of angle RVS. The baseline of the protractor should align with one side of the angle (either RV or VS).

  2. Identify the Scale: Make sure you check which scale (inner or outer) to use on the protractor. Since RVT is a right angle (90 degrees), you'll need to see which side of the angle RVS is open toward the right angle.

  3. Measure the Angle: Locate the other side of the angle, VS, and read the measurement on the protractor where the other line intersects the scale. This will provide you with the measure of angle RVS.

Since angle RVT is specified as a right angle, angles are typically measured from a standard position like 0 degrees to 90 degrees. However, without the specific orientation of angle RVS, we cannot provide the exact measurement without additional information.

If you want to find the measure of angle RVS, please provide the specific degrees shown by the protractor after following these steps. The specific measure can range depending on the position of line VS in relation to line RV.
