  2. Turn (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(angle)

    For example, the degree is defined such that one turn is 360 degrees. Using metric prefixes, the turn can be divided in 100 centiturns or 1000 milliturns, with each milliturn corresponding to an angle of 0.36°, which can also be written as 21′ 36″. [16] [17] A protractor divided in centiturns is normally called a "percentage protractor".

  3. Goniometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goniometer

    A half-circle protractor marked in degrees (180°). A protractor is a measuring instrument, typically made of transparent plastic, for measuring angles. Some protractors are simple half-discs or full circles. More advanced protractors, such as the bevel protractor, have one or two swinging arms, which can be used to help measure the angle.

    The FIRST image below shows ⊾ P = 20° on the protractor and ⊾ T = 20° on the angle Square. The only similarity is that both of the angles are acute angle and complimentary. When the image is enlarged the protractor is on the ⊾ 20° index and the body rests on the edged face of the 2X4.

  5. Range of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_motion

    The reference values for the normal ROM in individuals differ slightly depending on age and sex. [2] For example, as an individual ages, they typically lose a small amount of ROM. Analog and traditional devices to measure range of motion in the joints of the body include the goniometer and inclinometer which use a stationary arm, protractor ...

  6. Topographic Abney level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_Abney_Level

    The reverse measures degrees of arc. An Abney level and clinometer is an instrument used in surveying which consists of a fixed sighting tube, a movable spirit level that is connected to a pointing arm, and a protractor scale. An internal mirror allows the user to see the bubble in the level while sighting a distant target.

  7. Graduation (scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduation_(scale)

    A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial.It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations. A graduation is a marking used to indicate points on a visual scale, which can be present on a container, a measuring device, or the axes of a line plot, usually one of many along a line or curve, each in the form of short line segments perpendicular to the line or curve.

    degree of darkness in photographic or semitransparent material diffractometer: structure of crystals dilatometer: volume changes caused by a physical or chemical process disdrometer: size, speed, and velocity of raindrops dosimeter: exposure to hazards, especially radiation; radiation of item drumometer: amount of drum strokes over time dumpy level

  9. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    The values of sine and cosine of 30 and 60 degrees are derived by analysis of the equilateral triangle. In an equilateral triangle, the 3 angles are equal and sum to 180°, therefore each corner angle is 60°. Bisecting one corner, the special right triangle with angles 30-60-90 is obtained.
