protractor
a piece of plastic in the shape of a half-circle, which is used for measuring and drawing angles
protractor
Instrument for constructing and measuring plane angles
rnThe simplest protractor is a semicircular disk marked in degrees from 0กใ to 180กใ. A more complex protractor, for plotting position on navigation charts, is called a three-arm protractor, or station pointer, and consists of a circular scale connected to three arms. The centre arm is fixed, while the outer two can be rotated to any desired angle relative to the centre one. A related instrument is the course protractor, which allows navigators to measure the angular distance between north and the course plotted on a navigation chart.
