HELP ASAPPPP PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

C. 45°

Explanation:

When measuring with a protractor one of the rays should line up with the straight edge of the protractor, then match up the second ray to the tick marks. However, it can be confusing to tell how to read a protractor.

Clockwise

This angle moves clockwise. This means that the second ray is clockwise to the ray at the bottom. When using a protractor that opens up to the left like this, read the top row of the protractor. The second ray matches the 45-degree mark.

Acute vs Obtuse

There is another way to tell which row of numbers to read. By looking at the drawn angle we can tell the angle is acute (smaller than a right angle). So, the measurement must be less than 90. Therefore, the top row must apply in this situation, meaning the angle is 45°.

Answer 2

(c) 45°

Explanation:

A protractor is used to measure angles by aligning one of the sides of the angle with the 0 mark on the protractor scale. Then the value of the angle is read from the same scale where it is crossed by the other side of the angle.

Application

Here, ray BA crosses the outer scale at 0. The other ray of the angle, BC, crosses the outer scale halfway between 40 and 50, obscuring the mark at 45°.

The measure of angle ABC is 45°.
