Protractors are tools that measure specific angles, allowing users to create and replicate desired angles. They include a stationary base and a movable rule, connected by a digital or manual scale. The scale measures in degrees and may measure more precisely to minutes, with 60 minutes equal to 1 degree. Protractors are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as measuring crown molding and installing baseboards.
