Measuring Angles and Circle Graphs
Anchors Addressed M11.B.2.1.1 – Measure and/or compare angles in degrees (up to 360°) (Protractors must be provided or
drawn.) M11.E.4.1.1 – Estimate or calculate to make predictions based on a circle, line, bar graph, or given situation.
Concepts Protractors are used to accurately measure and draw angles. Angles appear in everything from buildings to circle graphs. Angles are labeled by the points located on the rays and vertex of the angle. Recall the vertex is the point where the two rays meet and the rays form the “sides” of the angles. Acute angles have measures that are less than 90 degrees and obtuse angles have measures that are greater than 90 degrees. Measuring Angles with a Protractor To measure an angle with a protractor, follow these steps. STEP 1: Align the bottom line of the angle with the 0 degree line of the protractor. STEP 2: Align the vertex of the angle with the mark at the center of the protractor. STEP 3: Read the angle on the protractor where the second ray of the angle crosses the protractor’s outer
edge. If the angle is acute, like the one shown, the angle is the smaller number. If the angle is obtuse, the angle is the larger number.
Example 1: Measure the angle shown below.
Solution: Using the steps outlined above, the measure of the angle is 41°.
? Test Taking Tip: You can always determine whether an angle is acute or obtuse when taking a test without using a protractor. The corner of a sheet of paper forms a 90° angle. Place a the corner of the paper at the vertex and align one ray of the angle with one edge of the paper. If you can see the other ray, the angle is obtuse, otherwise the angle is acute.
Drawing an Angle To draw an angle given a specified measure, first draw a ray. Then, place the protractor over the vertex (endpoint of the ray). Place a small dot next to the mark on protractor that represents the desired angle and then connect the vertex to the dot to create the second ray. Verify your answer is correct by re-‐measuring the angle you created. Pie (Circle) Charts Pie charts are circles that are divided into wedges that represent data. Pie charts can be misleading if the percentages they represent do not equal 100%. Therefore, pie charts can only be used to display certain data. To determine the relationship between the angle and the percent it represents, the following proportion is used:
𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡100 =
𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒360
Example 1: According to the circle graph, what percent of students chose math as their favorite subject? Solution: Measuring the angle that represents
Math. This angle is 61°. Therefore, the proportion to find the percent is:
𝑥100 =
61360
Solving the proportion yields 𝑥 = 16.9% Example 2: If 250 students were surveyed, how many students chose history as their favorite class? Solution: Like the previous example, measure the angle using a protractor, then substitute the angle into the proportion:
𝑥100 =
79360
Solving the proportion for x, 𝑥 = 21.9%. Use a second proportion to determine the number of students who chose history given the percentage.
21.9100 =
𝑥250
Solving this proportion yields the number of students who chose history: 55 students.
