Angles 5 (Protractor Using)

A 180-degree protractor has inside and outside scales to measure angles from 0 to 180 degrees in clockwise and counterclockwise directions respectively. It should always be used horizontally with the angle vertex pointed directly down for accuracy. Examples are given of measuring various angles using the inside or outside scale depending on which side of the protractor the 0 degree mark falls.
