Question
Using a pair of compasses construct the following angles: $60^\circ $
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
$1.$Draw a ray $QP.$
$2.$With $Q$ as the centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc cutting $QP$ at $N.$
$3.$With $N$ as the centre and the same radius as before, draw another arc to cut the previous arc at $M.$
$4.$Draw $QM$ and produce it to $R.$
$\angle\text{PQR}$ is the required angle of $60^\circ .$
