With the help of a ruler and a compass it is not possible to construct an angle of:
Option (A):
37.5° = 1/2 × 75°
75° can be constructed with the help of a ruler and a compass.
Option (B):
40° = 1/2 × 20°
This is not possible.
20° cannot be constructed with the help of a ruler and a compass.
Option (C):
22.5° = 1/2 × 45°
45° can be constructed with the help of a ruler and a compass.
Option (D):
67.5° = 1/2 × 135° = 1/2 × (90° + 45°)
Both 90° and 45° can be constructed with the help of a ruler and a compass.
Ans. (B) It is not possible to construct an angle of 40° with the help of ruler and compass.
