Question
Construct the following angles at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction:
  1. 45°
  2. 90°

Answer


  1. Steps of construction:
  1. Draw a line segment AB and produce BA to C.
  2. Keeping A as the center and any radius draw an arc which intersects AC at D and AB at E
  3. Keeping D and E as center and radius more than half of DE draw arcs which intersect each other at F.
  4. Join FA which intersects the arc in (2) at G.
  5. Keeping G and E as center and radius more than half of GE draw arcs which intersect each other at H.
  6. Join HA.
Therefore $\angle\text{HBC}=45^\circ$
  1. Steps of construction
  1. Draw a line segment AB.
  2. Keeping A as the center and any radius draw an arc which intersects AB at C.
  3. Keeping C as center and the same radius draw an arc which intersects the previous arc at D.
  4. Keeping D as the center and same radius draw an arc which intersects arc in (2) at E.
  5. Keeping E and D as center and radius more than half of ED draw arcs which intersect each other at F.
  6. Join FA.
Therefore $\angle\text{FAB}=90^\circ$
