Question

The steps involved in constructing $\angle ABC={60}^{\circ }$ is given below. Which of the following is the correct sequence of the steps?

• A. $a-b-d-c-e$
• B. $a-e-c-d-b$
• C. $a-d-c-b-e$
• D. $a-c-d-b-e$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $a-b-d-c-e$

The correct order of steps are:

1. Draw ray BC.
2. With a suitable radius on a compass and the center at B, draw an arc cutting the ray BC at point D.
3. With the same radius on the compass and the center at D, draw an arc to intersect the previous arc E.
4. The intersection of two arcs is E.
5. Join BE and extend to form ray BA.

Option A is the right answer to construct $\angle ABC={60}^{\circ }$.
