Construct the following angles at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction:


(i) 45°


(ii) 90°

We have to construct of an angle 45° and 90°

(i)

(ii)

We will follow the following algorithm to construct the given angles

Steps of construction

STEP1: Draw a ray BC.

STEP2: With B as a centre, and taking convenient radius, draw an arc, intersecting the ray BC at point N.

STEP3: With N as a centre, and taking the same radius, draw an arc cutting the previous arc at M.

STEP4: With M as a centre, and the same radius, draw an arc cutting the arc drawn in STEP 2 at L.

STEP5: With M as a centre, and the same radius draw an arc.

STEP6: With L as a centre, and the same radius, draw an arc cutting the arc drawn in STEP 5 at A.

STEP7: Draw the ray BA.

ABC = 90°

STEP 8 Bisect the ABC. Let BP be the bisecting ray.

SoPBC = 45°
