We measure angles using a tool called a protractor. A protractor is half of a circle. A protractor uses units called degrees to measure angles. A protractor can measure angles starting from the left or from the right. It measures from 0 to 180 degrees. 180 degrees is half of the measure of a circle.
The measure of an angle is the measure of the space between the rays. It is the direction of the rays relative to one another that determine the measure of an angle. In trigonometry, angles are often defined in terms of rotation. Consider one ray, and then let it rotate a fixed distance about its endpoint.
