How to Use the TIGER 360 Degree Protractor (10cm / 4 inch)

Overview

The TIGER 360 Degree Protractor is a versatile tool designed for measuring angles accurately. This guide will help beginners understand how to use this protractor effectively.

Materials Needed

• TIGER 360 Degree Protractor
• Pencil
• Ruler (optional)
• Paper or Surface for Drawing

Steps for Using the Protractor

1. Positioning the Protractor

• Place the protractor on the surface or paper where you wish to measure or draw an angle.
• Ensure that the center point of the protractor (usually marked with a small hole or cross) is placed exactly at the vertex of the angle you are measuring.

2. Aligning the Baseline

• Align the baseline of the protractor (the straight edge at the bottom) with one side of the angle.
• If you are drawing an angle, use a ruler to extend one side of the angle from the vertex.

3. Reading the Angle

• Look directly down over the protractor to see which degree measurement the other side of the angle points to on the protractor scale.
• The protractor features both 0-180 degree and 180-360 degree scales. Make sure to read from the correct scale, depending on the orientation of your angle.

4. Drawing an Angle

• To draw a specific angle, mark the desired degree on the protractor’s outer edge.
• Use a ruler to draw a line from the vertex to the marked degree point.

Additional Tips

• Double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy.
• Practice using the protractor to become more familiar with the tool.

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the protractor clean and store it in a protective case if available.
• Avoid dropping the protractor to prevent damage.
