37.5°
Advertisements
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment BC.
(ii) With centre B and some suitable radius, draw an arc meeting BC at P.
(iii) With centre P and same radius cut off arcs PQ and QR.
(iv) Now bisect arc QR at S and again bisect arc QS at T.
(v) Bisect arc PT at K.
(vi) Join BK and produce it to A.
Then, ∠ABC = `37 1/2°` or 37.5.
