Question

Given below ar the angles x and y.

Without measuring these angles, construct :

(i)ABC=x+y(ii)ABC=2x+y(iii)ABC=x+2y

Open in App
Solution

(i) Steps of Construction :

1. Draw a line segment BC of any suitable length.

2. With B as centre, draw an arc of any suitable radius. With the same radius, draw arcs with the vertices of given angles as centres. Let these arcs cut arms of the arc x at points P and Q and arms of angle y at points R and S.

3. From the arc, with centre B, cut DE = PQ arc of x and EF = RS arc of y

4. Join BF produce upto point A. Thus \angle ABC = x + y

(ii) Steps of Construction :

Proceed in exactly the same way as in part

(i) takes DE = PQ = arc of x.

EF = PQ = arc of x and FG = RS = arc of y.

Join BG and produce it upto A.

Thus ABC = x + x + y = 2x + y

(iii) Steps of Construction :

Proceed in exactly the same way as in (ii) taking DE = PQ = arc of x. and EF = RS = arc of y and FG = RS = arc of y.

Join BG and produce it upto 'A'. Thus ABC = x + y + y = x + 2y
