Draw an angle of 70°. Make a copy of it using only a straight edge and compasses.

Steps of Construction-

1. Draw an angle 70° with protractor, i.e., POQ = 70°



2. Draw a ray AB


3. Place the compasses at O and draw an arc to cut the rays of POQ at L and M.


4. Use the same compasses, setting to draw an arc with A as centre, cutting AB at X.



5. Set your compasses setting to the length LM with the same radius.


6. Place the compasses pointer at X and draw the arc to cut the arc drawn earlier at Y.


7. Join AY.


Thus, YAX = 70°
