Using rulers and compasses only, draw an angle of measure 135°.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB and produce BA to C.
- Keeping A as the center and any radius draw an arc which intersects AC at D and AB at E.
- Keeping D and E as center and radius more than half of DE draw arcs which intersect each other at F.
- Join FA which intersects the arc in (2) at G.
- Keeping G and D as center and radius more than half of GD draw arcs which intersect each other at H.
- Join HA.
