Question
Use a pair of compasses and construct the following angles: $45^\circ $

Answer


Steps of Construction:
$1.$Draw a ray $OA.$
$2.$With $O$ as centre and any su itable radius draw an arc above $OA$ to cut it at $B.$
$3.$With $B$ as centre and same radius cut the previous arc at $C$ and then with $C $ as centre and same radius cut the arc at $D.$
$4.$With $C$ as centre and radius more than half $CD,$ draw an arc.
$5.$With $D$ as centre and same radius draw another arc to cut the previous arc at $E.$
$6.$Join $OE.$ Then $\angle\text{AOE}=90^\circ.$
$7.$Draw the bisector $OF$ of angle $\angle\text{AOE}.$
Then, $\angle\text{AOF}=45^\circ$ is the required angle.
