Solution
The correct option is C130∘ An angle’s measure is the number of 1-degree angles it rotates through. Each tick mark is 1 degree.
Here arm BC coincides with the right edge of protractor, so we're gonna read inside numbers of the protractor.
In this angle, one arm passes through 0∘ and the other arm passes through 90∘ degrees. ∴The angle ∠ABC measures 90∘.
Here arm ED coincides with the left edge of protractor, so we're gonna read outside numbers of the protractor.
In this angle, one arm passes through 0∘ and the other arm passes through 130∘ degrees. ∴The angle ∠DEF measures 130∘.
