Here's a two-column table showing the tick marks and their measurements on both sides of a standard ruler:
Inch Side (Imperial) Centimeter Side (Metric)
0 in 0 cm
1/16 in 1 mm
1/8 in 2 mm
3/16 in 3 mm
1/4 in 4 mm
5/16 in 5 mm
3/8 in 6 mm
7/16 in 7 mm
1/2 in 8 mm
9/16 in 9 mm
5/8 in 10 mm (1 cm)
11/16 in 11 mm
3/4 in 12 mm
13/16 in 13 mm
7/8 in 14 mm
15/16 in 15 mm
1 in 16 mm
... ...
12 in (end of ruler) 30 cm (end of ruler)
The inch side is divided into 16 parts per inch (smallest tick is 1/16").
The centimeter side is divided into 10 parts per centimeter (each tick is 1 mm).
This pattern repeats for each inch and centimeter along the ruler.

How to Read This
Tick: The line or mark you see on the ruler (where you'd read the measurement).
Gap: The space between two tick marks (always the same size: 1/16" on the inch side, 1 mm on the metric side).
This pattern repeats for every inch and centimeter along the entire ruler.
If you want a longer list (e.g., for 2 inches or 5 cm), just let me know!
Here's a vertical list for a standard 180° protractor, labeling each tick and the gaps (spaces) between them, just like you'd see on the tool:
Protractor Tick and Gap List (0° to 180°)

Tick: 0°
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 1°
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 2°
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 3°
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 4°
...
Tick: 89°
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 90° (center/top of semicircle)
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 91°
...
Tick: 179°
Gap: (1° space)
Tick: 180°
Each tick marks a degree (every 1°).
Each gap is the space between two ticks (1° apart).
No gap before 0° or after 180°-the protractor starts and ends with a tick at the edge.
This pattern repeats for all degrees on the protractor. If you're using a 360° protractor, just continue the same pattern up to 360°.

A standard half-circle protractor (the most common type) only appears to be half a circle, but it's designed to measure angles up to 180° while still allowing you to measure a full 360° through clever design.
How Half-Circle Protractors Work
The key to understanding half-circle protractors is their dual scale system:
Two sets of numbers: A half-circle protractor has two scales - one on the outer edge and one on the inner edge
Outer scale: Runs from 0° to 180° from left to right
Inner scale: Runs from 180° to 0° (or sometimes labeled as 0° to 180° right to left)
This dual-scale design allows you to measure angles regardless of which direction they open:
You always place the center of the protractor on the vertex of the angle
You align the 0° mark with one ray of the angle
Then you read the measurement where the other ray crosses the appropriate scale
Why This Works for Full Circles
Even though the protractor only shows 180°, you can measure any angle up to 360° by:
For angles 0°-180°: Measure directly using the appropriate scale
For angles 180°-360°: Use the "circle trick" - subtract the angle from 360° and measure the complementary angle instead
For example, to draw a 335° angle:
You can't measure 335° directly on a half-circle protractor
So you calculate: 360° - 335° = 25°
You draw a 25° angle and label the exterior angle as 335°
Full-Circle vs. Half-Circle Protractors
While full-circle protractors do exist and can measure angles up to 360° directly, half-circle protractors are more common in schools and basic geometry because:
They're more compact and easier to handle
Most angles encountered in basic geometry are less than 180°
They're still capable of measuring or constructing any angle with the right technique
The half-circle design is essentially a space-efficient way to provide full functionality while being more portable and practical for everyday use.
UST just because you can't see someone doesn't make them not important it wasn't for the gaps then what else would hold together the rest of the pieces that you claim her so important
Absolutely! Here's a side-by-side comparison table showing the tick marks, their measurements, and the gap sizes for a standard ruler (inch and centimeter sides) and a protractor (degrees):

Key Points
Ruler (Inch Side): Each gap is 1/16", ticks are at 0", 1/16", 1/8", ... up to 1".
Ruler (Centimeter Side): Each gap is 1 mm, ticks are at 0 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, ... up to 10 mm (1 cm).
Protractor: Each gap is 1°, ticks are at 0°, 1°, 2°, ... up to 180° (or 360° for a full-circle protractor).
This pattern repeats for the full length of the ruler or protractor.
