Construction : 1 Mark

Steps :
1. Draw a line segment AB of length 10 cm.
2. With A as centre draw an arc of any radius. Let this arc intersect AB at P.
3. With the same radius as before draw an arc with P as centre. Let this arc cut the previously drawn arc at Q.
4. Angle QAP is the required the ${60}^{\circ }$ angle.
5. QA makes angle of ${60}^{\circ }$ with line segment AB whose length is 10 cm.
