Obtuse; 145\u00b0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A protractor is a semicircular tool marked with degrees from 0\u00b0 to 180\u00b0 and is commonly used for measuring angles. In the given figure, the angle \u2220AOC is drawn with its vertex at point O, and its two rays extend to points A and C. The baseline ray OA aligns with the 0\u00b0 mark on the protractor, while the other ray OC reaches the 145\u00b0 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the type of angle, we analyze its measure. Angles are classified based on their degrees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Acute angles<\/strong> are less than 90\u00b0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right angles<\/strong> measure exactly 90\u00b0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Obtuse angles<\/strong> fall between 90\u00b0 and 180\u00b0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Straight angles<\/strong> measure exactly 180\u00b0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the measurement of \u2220AOC is 145\u00b0, it is greater than 90\u00b0 but less than 180\u00b0, categorizing it as an <strong>obtuse<\/strong> angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding angle measurement is fundamental in geometry because angles define the shape and structure of various figures. Correctly identifying angles is essential in applications such as architectural design, engineering, and construction. Protractors are especially useful in physics when analyzing forces or trajectories and in mathematics for calculating trigonometric values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By aligning one side of an angle with the protractor&#8217;s baseline and noting the intersection of the second ray with the degree markings, anyone can accurately measure an angle. In this case, the intersection at 145\u00b0 clearly indicates that \u2220AOC is obtuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastering angle classification aids in recognizing the geometric properties of different figures, ensuring accuracy in scientific and technical disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The figure shows \u2220AOC drawn with a protractor.
