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