Is it possible to match, view, and and/or manually enter path angle?

Is there a way to see a paths angle (between two anchor points) without the measure tool? The measure tool is great is certain scenarios, but unless I'm zoomed in to specific points, its almost impossible to get precise angles/measurements. And you can't really pan or zoom while using the measure tool.

 

Is there a way to match a paths angle? If I had path 2 selected and I want it to match the angle of path 1.

 

Is there a way to manually enter a paths angle?

 

If I have a 100w x 300h rectangle, is there a way to tilt it to an angle while maintaining a flat/straight top and bottom?

Trace over the path with the line segment tool. Double click the tool and it will tell you the angle.Annotation 2019-11-23 113641.jpg

T_T Thank you!! I forget that certain panels exist, let alone have extended options.
In my defense, i don't understand why nothing about that came up in my searches. I did do a fair amount of searching. Non-the-less Ill make sure to look at any relavent panels before posting.

Thank you again.

Awesome!! Thank you!

 

Do you have any thoughts on my other questions?

Match two pre-existing paths?

Manually enter/change angle of pre-existing path?

Manually enter/change angle for pre-existing rectangle/shape and keep top/bottom horizontal so that I wouldnt have to set guides for every single angle, or rotate the shape.
