Drawing an Angle with a Protractor
22 October 2026

Worked example
Draw an angle of 65° using a protractor
Place the centre point of the protractor on the point where you want the angle to start (the vertex).
Line up the baseline of the protractor with your starting line.
Find 65° on the scale that starts at zero on the baseline.
Make a small mark at 65°.
Remove the protractor and use a ruler to draw a straight line from the vertex through the 65° mark.
The correct answer is an angle measuring 65°.
