Question
Construct an angle bisector to obtain an angle of 30°.

Answer

In order to get a bisected angle of a given measure, the student has to draw the angle having twice the measurement of required bisected angle.
For getting measurement of 30° (for the bisected angle), one has to make an angle of 60° (i.e. 30° × 2).

Step 1:
Draw $\angle ABC$ of $60^{\circ}$.

Step 2:
Cut arcs on the rays BA and BC. Name these points as D and E respectively.

Step 3:
Place the compass point on point D and draw an arc inside the angle.
Without changing the distance of the compass, place the compass point on point E and cut the previous arc. Name the point of intersection as O

Step 4:
Draw ray BO.
Ray $BO$ is the angle bisector of $\angle ABC$.
i.e. $m \angle A B O=m \angle C B O=30^{\circ}$
