Solution


Steps : 1 Mark
Construction : 2 Marks

Steps:
1. Draw line segment BC of any appropriate length.

2. Using set square draw line segment AB of any length which makes angle of 90 with BC.

3. Draw an arc of any radius with B as centre. Let the arc intersect AB and BC at E and D respectively.

4. With E and D as centres draw arcs of same radii. Let these 2 arcs meet at F

5. Join BF. Angle FBC is 45

6. Draw an arc of any radius with B as centre. Let the arc intersect FB and BC at P and Q respectively.

7. With P and Q as centres draw arcs of same radii. Let these 2 arcs meet at G.

8. GBC is the bisected angle of FBC. Hence Angle GBC is 22.5
