• The measure of XYZ is 150° 70°, or 80°. Write this as mXYZ = 80°.

Additional Example 1 ContinuedUse a protractor to find the measure of XYZ . Then classify the angle.

CheckUse the other scale on the protractor to find the measure ofXYZ. 110° - 30° = 80°.


To estimate the measure of an angle, compare it with an angle whose measure you already know. A right angle has half the measure of a straight angle. A 45° angle has half the measure of a right angle.

Additional Example 2: Estimating Angle MeasuresEstimate the measure of K in parallelogram JKLM. Then use a protractor to check the reasonableness of your answer.

Think: The measure of the angle is close to 150°.

Additional Example 2 Continued

Use the protractor. The measure of the angle is 145°. mK = 145°, so the estimate is reasonable.

Use the scale on the protractor that starts with 0°.

Additional Example 3: Sports ApplicationThe shape of a softball home plate is shown below. Find the measures of C and E.

Use a protractor to measure C. CB crosses at 130°, and CD crosses at 40°.Subtract. 130° – 40° = 90°

CD

C = 90°

Additional Example 3 ContinuedThe shape of a softball home plate is shown below. Find the measures of C and E.

Estimate the mE. It is greater than 90°, so it looks as if the angle measure is 90° + 45°.So, mE is about 135°.

CDUse a protractor to measure E.

E = 135°

Check It Out: Example 3A quadrilateral is shown below. Find the measures of A and C.

Use a protractor to measure A. AB crosses at 40°, and AD crosses at 110°.Subtract. 110° 40° = 70°

Course 1


A = 70°

Check It Out: Example 3 ContinuedA quadrilateral is shown below. Find the measures of A and C.

Estimate the mC. It is greater than 90°, so it looks as if the angle measure is 90° + 20°.So, mC is about 110°.

Course 1


Use a protractor to measure C.

C = 110°
