Q7Find the measure of PQR.


A. 20°
B. 18°
C. 10°
D. 15°

Step: 1
A protractor has two sets of numbers. Angles can be measured from either side of the protractor - from the left side or from the right side.
Step: 2
In the figure shown, one side of the angle QR is flat and the other side QP crosses the curved edge of the protractor.
Step: 3
There are two numbers 18 and 162 where QP crosses the curved edge of the protractor. The angle shown appears to be less than a right angle. So, the measure of the angle shown is 18°.
Correct Answer is :   18°
Q8Find the measure of XYZ.


A. 35°
B. 145°
C. 50°
D. 30°

Step: 1
A protractor has two sets of numbers. Angles can be measured from either side of the protractor - from the left side or from the right side.
Step: 2
In the figure shown, one side of the angle YZ is flat and the other side YX crosses the curved edge of the protractor.
Step: 3
There are two numbers 35 and 145 where YX crosses the curved edge of the protractor. The angle shown appears to be less than a right angle. So, the measure of the angle shown is 35°.
Correct Answer is :   35°
Q9Find the measure of QPR.


A. 122°
B. 125°
C. 58°
D. 130°

Step: 1
A protractor has two sets of numbers. Angles can be measured from either side of the protractor - from the left side or from the right side.
Step: 2
In the figure shown, one side of the angle PR is flat and the other side PQ crosses the curved edge of the protractor.
Step: 3
There are two numbers 58 and 122 where PQ crosses the curved edge of the protractor. The angle shown appears to be greater than a right angle. So, the measure of the angle shown is 122°.
Correct Answer is :   122°
