Question

  1. find the fraction piece that would cover half the circle. trace the fraction on the circle. label your circle as shown.
  1. how much of the circle would have a measure of 90 degrees? how would you write 90 degrees as a fraction of your circle?
  1. find the fraction pieces that would make 90 - degree angles. label your circle as shown.
  1. use the benchmarks of 90 and 180 degrees to find the angles with measures of 45 degrees, 60 degrees, and 120 degrees. label them on the circle.
  1. fold the circle in half. on the blank side, repeat steps 2 - 4 labelling 180 degrees on the opposite side than its label on the completed protractor.

Response
Question 4:

Step1: Recall the total degrees in a circle

A full circle has \( 360^\circ \).

Step2: Calculate the fraction for \( 90^\circ \)

To find the fraction of the circle that \( 90^\circ \) represents, we divide \( 90^\circ \) by \( 360^\circ \). So the fraction is \( \frac{90}{360} \).

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Simplify \( \frac{90}{360} \) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 90. \( \frac{90\div90}{360\div90}=\frac{1}{4} \).

Step1: Recall the fraction for \( 90^\circ \)

From question 4, we know that \( 90^\circ \) is \( \frac{1}{4} \) of a full circle (\( 360^\circ \)).

Step2: Determine the fraction pieces

To make \( 90^\circ \) angles, we need to divide the circle into parts where each part is \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the circle (since \( 90^\circ=\frac{1}{4}\times360^\circ \)). So the fraction pieces are \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the circle. When we divide the circle into 4 equal parts (by drawing two perpendicular diameters, like a plus sign in the circle), each part will have a central angle of \( 90^\circ \).

Step1: Analyze \( 45^\circ \)

We know that \( 90^\circ \) is a benchmark. \( 45^\circ \) is half of \( 90^\circ \). So to find \( 45^\circ \), we can bisect a \( 90^\circ \) angle. If we have a \( 90^\circ \) sector (from question 4 or 5), we can divide it into two equal parts, and each part will be \( 45^\circ \).

Step2: Analyze \( 60^\circ \)

We know that a full circle is \( 360^\circ \), and an equilateral triangle has internal angles of \( 60^\circ \). Also, we can use the relationship with \( 90^\circ \) and \( 180^\circ \). Since \( 180^\circ \) is a straight angle (half of the circle), and \( 60^\circ=\frac{1}{3}\times180^\circ \). So we can divide the semicircle (\( 180^\circ \)) into 3 equal parts, each part will be \( 60^\circ \).

Step3: Analyze \( 120^\circ \)

\( 120^\circ = 180^\circ - 60^\circ \), or \( 120^\circ=\frac{2}{3}\times180^\circ \). We can also think of it as \( 90^\circ+ 30^\circ \), but more simply, since \( 120^\circ=\frac{1}{3}\times360^\circ \) (because \( 360\div3 = 120 \)) or as \( 180 - 60 \). To label \( 120^\circ \), we can find a \( 60^\circ \) angle and then the supplementary angle to it (with respect to \( 180^\circ \)) will be \( 120^\circ \), or we can divide the circle into 3 equal parts (each \( 120^\circ \)) or use the \( 90^\circ \) and \( 30^\circ \) (but \( 30^\circ \) can be derived from \( 90^\circ\div3 \)) to build up \( 120^\circ=90 + 30 \).

Answer:

The measure of \( 90^\circ \) is \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the circle.
