Construct the following angles and verify by measuring them by a protractor:
(i) 75° (ii) 105° (iii) 135°
Answer
(i) 75°
Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc BAE is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With E as a centre, two arcs are A and C are made on the arc BAE.
Step 4: With A and B as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X and ∠XOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With A and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at D
Step 6: OD is joined and and ∠DOY = 75° is constructed.
Thus, ∠DOY is the required angle making 75° with OY.
(ii) 105°
Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc ABC is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With A as a centre, two arcs are B and C are made on the arc ABC.
Step 4: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at E and ∠EOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X
Step 6: OX is joined and and ∠XOY = 105° is constructed.
Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 105° with OY.
(iii) 135°
Steps of constructions:Step 1: A ray DY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc ACD is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With A as a centre, two arcs are B and C are made on the arc ACD.
Step 4: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at E and ∠EOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With F and D as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X or bisector of ∠EOD is constructed.
Step 6: OX is joined and and ∠XOY = 135° is constructed.
Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 135° with DY.
