Question
Construct the 60° angle, using ruler and a pair of compass only.

Answer

Steps of Construction:
To construct an angle of 60°.
  1. Draw a line OA of any suitable length.
  2. At o, draw an arc of any size to cut OA at B.
  3. With B as a centre, draw the same size arc, to cut the previous arc at C.
  4. Join OC and extend up to a suitable point D, Then, ∠DOA = 60°.
