Using a protractor, draw each of the following angles.
-400°
The given angle is negative
Adding or subtracting 360° from a particular angle does’nt changes its position.
Therefore, Angle can also be written as=-400° + 360° = -40°
The angle is still negative, so we will further add 360° to it.
Therefore, Angle can also be written as=-40° + 360°=320°
• Draw a straight line AB.
• Place a dot at B. This dot represents the vertex of the angle.
• Place the centre of the protractor at B and the baseline of the protractor along the arm BA.
• Find 320° on the scale and mark a small dot at the edge of the protractor.
• Join the vertex B to the small dot with a ruler to form the second arm, BC, of the angle.
• Mark the angle with a small arc as shown below.
