Question

To construct an angle of ${60}^{\circ }$

Steps of construction are:
Step 1: Draw a ray AB
Step 2 will be:

• A. Taking D as center and any radius, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at E.
• B. Using protractor, draw an angle ${60}^{\circ }$.
• C. Taking D as center and same radius, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at E.
• D. Taking A as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting ray AB at a point D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Taking A as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting ray AB at a point D.

In the construction of ${60}^{\circ }$,
Step 1: Construct a ray AB
Step 2: With A as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting ray AB at a point D.
Step 3: Taking D as centre and with the same radius taken before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc, say at a point E.
Step 4: Draw a ray AC Passing through E then $\angle BAC$ is
the required angle of 60°.
