To draw a 72-degree angle, follow these steps:
1. Start by drawing a straight line using a ruler. This will serve as the baseline for your angle.
2. Mark a point on the baseline. This point will represent the vertex of your angle. Label it as point A.
3. Using a protractor, measure the desired angle of 72 degrees from point A. Find the 72-degree mark on the protractor and align it with the baseline.
4. With the protractor still aligned, draw a small line from point A towards the upper side of the protractor's scale. This line should intersect with the curve of the protractor.
5. Remove the protractor and extend the line you drew in the previous step past the curve of the protractor, ensuring that it stays straight.
6. Mark the point where the extended line intersects with the baseline. Label it as point B.
7. Lastly, draw a line connecting points A and B. This line will represent the angle you have just created.
Congratulations! You have successfully drawn a 72-degree angle.
