Vertex: The point where two rays meet to form an angle.
Ray: A line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.
Protractor: A semicircular tool used to measure and draw angles.
Baseline: The straight edge of the protractor that aligns with the ray.
Center Mark: The midpoint of the protractor that sits on the vertex.
Acute Angle: An angle measuring less than 90°.
Right Angle: An angle measuring exactly 90°.
Obtuse Angle: An angle measuring more than 90° but less than 180°.

Questions & Answers
Question: How can I make sure my angle measurements are accurate in my creative project?
Answer: Follow these accuracy tips:
- Protractor Alignment: Always center on vertex and align baseline
- Sharp Pencil: Use a sharp pencil for precise markings
- Double Check: Measure angles twice to confirm accuracy
- Light Lines: Draw initial lines lightly so you can adjust if needed
- Verification: Compare with known angles like 90° corners
Take your time with measurements - accuracy is more important than speed!
