Steps:
Draw a ray OA.
Place the centre of the protractor at O and the zero line along OA. Mark a point at 80°.
Remove the protractor and join O with the marked point and produce it to B. Then ∠AOB = 80°.
To make a copy of ∠AOB, draw any ray PQ.
With O as centre and any (suitable) radius, draw an arc to meet ray OA at C and ray OB at D.
With P as centre and the same radius (as in step 5), draw an arc to meet PQ at R.
Measure the segment CD with the compass.
With R as centre and radius equal to CD, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at S.
Join PS and produce it to form a ray PT.

Then ∠QPT = ∠AOB = 80°.
Hence, ∠QPT is a copy of ∠AOB.
