Question

Jimmy wants to draw a 50° angle. Fill in the missing step to make sure his drawing is completed in the correct order:

Step 1: He draws a ray.
Step 2: He lines up his protractor with the baseline on the ray and the origin of the protractor on the vertex.
Step 3: ________
Step 4: He uses the bottom of the protractor to draw a straight line connecting the mark he made with the vertex.
Step 5: He draws arrows on both ends to make them rays.

Anwsers:
1. He lines up his ruler with the ray and the zero on the ruler.

2. He finds 50° on the protractor and draws a mark on the paper.

3. He lines up his protractor with a straight line and draws a mark on the paper.

4. He draws parallel lines.

Answer 1

Answer He finds 50° on the protractor and draws a mark on the paper.

Answer 2

2. He finds 50° on the protractor and draws a mark on the paper.

Explanation:

Construction is a topic that requires a step wise procedure during the process. In the given question, since Jimmy wish to draw an angle of 50°, he should locate the angle on his protractor and draw a mark on the paper. This is with respect to the previous steps observed.

The essence of the protractor is for Jimmy to accurately measure the angle. Thus he has to determine the angle by the use of a protractor before the construction can be complete.

Therefore the required procedure in step 3 is he finds 50° on the protractor and draws a mark on the paper.
