Solution

Steps of construction :

(i) Draw an angle ABC which is an obtuse angle i.e., more than 90

(ii) With centre B and a suitable radius draw an arc meeting BC at E and AB at F.

(iii) With centre E and F, and radius more than half of EF draw arcs intersecting each other at G.

(iv) Join BG and produce it to D.

Then BD is the bisector of ABC.

On measuring each part, we find each angle is half of angle ABC.
