Revolution

The revolution is the simplest method of measuring the angle. We define one revolution as the complete rotation of the circle. We define revolution such that,

One Revolution = 2π Rad = 360°

Thus, we can say that half revolution is π Rad or 180° and so on.

The below table shows the relationship between degree, radian, and revolution:

Measuring Angles

Measurement of angles is very important in geometry for solving various geometrical problems and comparing angles in various geometrical figures. We use various geometric tools such as a protractor, and a compass for measuring angles. There are various types of angles measured by us and before learning more about measuring angles we should first learn more about what is an angle.

Let’s learn more about Angles, measuring angles, degrees, radians, and others in detail in this article.

What is an Angle?

When two rays are extended together to meet at a point they are formed an angle. Thus, we define the angle as the shape in geometry formed by joining the two rays together. The meeting point of the two rays is called the vertex of the angel and the two rays are called the arm of the angle....

Types of Angles

On the basis of the measure of the angles, we divide the angles into seven different categories, that are,...

What is Measuring Angles?

We can measure the angle using various geometrical tools such as a protractor and a compass. Using these tools we can easily find the exact measure of the angles. The protractor is best suited for measuring the various angles exactly as a compass can measure very few angles exactly with lots of difficulties. We can measure the angle in three categories, i.e. in,...

How to Measure Angles Using a Protractor?

We can easily measure the angle using the protractor. A protractor is a geometrical tool made in the shape of a semi-circle and contains marking from 0° to 180°. It contains the same marking from left to right and right to left. We can use a protractor to measure any angle between 0° to 360°....

Measuring Angle Greater than 180 Degrees

Any angle greater than 180 degrees can be easily measured using the protractor by just placing the protractor upside down and then measuring the angle normally as we measure the normal angles. Suppose we have to measure an angle whose value is 275 degrees, we put the protractor upside down such that the vertex of the angle coincides with the midpoint of the protractor and the edge of the protractor is parallel to the arm of the angle. Now we measure the value of the angle normally by following the steps discussed above....
