Solution

Draw a ray OA.
With the help of a protractor, construct an angle AOB of 108°.

108°2=54°

54° is half of 108°.

To get the angle of 54°, we need to bisect the angle of 108°.
With centre at O and a convenient radius, draw an arc cutting sides OA and OB at P and Q, respectively.
With centre at P and radius more than half of PQ, draw an arc.
With the sane radius and centre at Q, draw another arc intersecting the previous arc at R.
Join O and R and extend it to X.
AOX is the required angle of 54°.
