Question

Which of the following figures can be constructed using only compass and Ruler

• A. A straight line of length 7.9 cm
• B. A straight line of length 6.1 cm
• C. An angle of measure 60⁰
• D. A straight line of length 4.8 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is C

An angle of measure 60⁰

To draw an angle of 60⁰, we need to draw a straight line AB using ruler and an arc with pointer compass placed at point A. This arc cuts the line at point C. From point C draw another arc of same radius which cuts the previous arc at point D. AD joined and produced will generate an angle of 60⁰.
