Protractor

Protractor is a device for measuring the size of angles or drawing angles of specified sizes. Protractors are made of plastic, paper, or metal. Most protractors are shaped like the letter D, with the arc in the shape of a semicircle. Lines and numbers on the arc indicate angles from 0 to 180 degrees (or, in some cases, from 0 to 3,200 mils).
