Final answer:

To measure an obtuse angle with a protractor that only measures 0 to 90 degrees, follow these steps: place the protractor on one side of the angle, find the 90-degree mark, and follow the scale to determine the angle measure.


Step-by-step explanation:

To measure an obtuse angle using a protractor that only measures 0 to 90 degrees, you can follow these steps:

  1. Place the protractor on one of the angle's sides, aligning the base line of the protractor with the side of the angle.
  2. Look at the scale of the protractor and find the 90-degree mark.
  3. Follow the scale line until you reach the actual angle measure. This will give you the measure of the obtuse angle.
