Draw a ray EF with E as its initial point.

Place the protractor on EF. With the centre at E, mark a point D against the angle $47^{circ}$ of the protractor.

Join DE. $angle DEF=47^{circ}=angle ABC$ is the required angle.

QUESTION – 4: Draw a line segment AB = 6cm. Take a point C on AB such that AC = 4cm. From C, draw $CDperp AB$

Solution:

Draw a line segment AB of length 6 cm.

Mark pint C on AB such that AC is equal to 4 cm.

Place the protractor an AB such that the centre of the protractor is on C and its base lies along AB.

Holding the protractor, mark a point D on the paper against the $90^{circ}$ mark of the protractor.

Remove the protractor and draw a ray CD with C as the initial point.

Now, $CDperp AB$

(a) $15^{circ}$ (b) $12^{circ}$

(c) $10^{circ}$ (d) $18^{circ}$

Solution:

(c) $10^{circ}$

Number of spokes = 36

Measure of the angle of the wheel = Complete angle = $360^{circ}$

Angle between a pair of adjacent spokes = Measure of angle / Number of spokes = $360^{circ}$ / 36 = $10^{circ}$
