Hi,

I need the name, picture, or description of 5 devices used to measure 
angles for a geometry project I am doing.  

Thank you very much.

Hi, Gentry.

I have some words for you. Look them up in a dictionary for starters, 
then in an encyclopedia or on the Web. Find what kind of angles each 
instrument measures, and how it works.

  clinometer
  goniometer
  magnetic compass
  protractor
  sextant
  theodolite
