Solution 1
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line of convenient length. Take a point B on it. With B as centre, draw an arc that cuts the line at points X and Y.
2. With X as centre, cut an arc at P on the previous arc.
3. With P as centre and same radius in the compass, cut another arc at Q.
4. With P and Q as centres, cut intersecting arcs and name it as point E. Join EB.
5. With O and Y as centres, draw intersecting arcs and name the intersection point A. Join AB.
Here, ∠ABC is the required angle of measure 135°.

With R and X as centres, form intersecting arcs which meet at point G.
Here, BG is the required bisector of ∠ABC.
