Question

How many arcs are drawn during construction of an angular bisector

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3

Steps of construction.
Step 1 : Draw the given angle ABC
Step 2 : Taking B as centre and with any radius, draw an arc to
intersect the rays BA and BC at D and E respectively, as shown in the figure.
Step 3 : Taking E and D as centres draw two arcs with equal radii to intersect each other at F.
Step 4 : Draw the ray BF. It is the required bisector of $\angle ABC$.

$\therefore$ Three arcs are drawn in total.
