Question

In your note-book copy the following angle using ruler and a pair compass only.

Answer 1

Steps of Construction:

1. At point A draw line AB = QP

2. With Q as centre, draw an arc of any suitable radius, to cut the arms of the angle A + C and D.

3. With A as centre, draw the arc of the same size as drawn for C and D. Let this arc cuts line AB at D.

4. In your compasses, take the distance equal to distance between 7 and 5; and then with D as centre, draw an arc which cuts the earlier arc at E.

5. Join AE and produced upto a suitable point C. ∠BAC, so obtained is the angle equal to the given ∠PQR.
