To determine the measurement of the angle using the protractor, you must align the center of the protractor with the vertex (intersection point) of the angle. Then, place leg 1 of the angle along the 0° line of the protractor, ensuring that the endpoint of leg 1 coincides with the protractor scale. Finally, locate leg 2 of the angle on the protractor scale and read the measurement where it intersects.
Based on the provided image, the angle measures between 20° and 30° for leg 1, and between 130° and 140° for leg 2. However, without a specific point of intersection, it is not possible to determine the exact measure of the angle.
(image shows: leg 1 is between 20 - 30 and leg 2 between 130 - 140)
Using the information on the protractor, explain how to determine the measurement of the angle. What is the measure of the angle?

let's say leg 1 is 25 degrees and leg 2 is 135 degree
If leg 1 of the angle measures 25 degrees and leg 2 measures 135 degrees, then the measure of the angle is the sum of these two values.
Angle measurement = leg 1 + leg 2
Angle measurement = 25° + 135°
Angle measurement = 160°
Therefore, the measure of the angle is 160 degrees.
Angle measurement = leg 1 + leg 2
Angle measurement = 25° + 135°
Angle measurement = 160°
Therefore, the measure of the angle is 160 degrees.
