Construct an angle of 900 at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction


Steps of construction:


Step 1: A ray YZ is drawn.


Step 2: Taking Y as a centre and any random radius, draw an arc ABC cutting YZ at C.


Step3: Taking C as a centre and the same radius, mark a point B on the arc ABC.


Step 4: Take B as a centre and the same radius, mark a point A on the arc ABC.


Step 5: Now, take A and B as centre one by one, draw two arcs intersecting each other with the same radius at point X.


Step 6: X and Y are joined and a ray XY making an angle 90° with YZ is formed


Justification for construction:


We constructed BYZ = 60o


And also AYB = 60o


Thus,


AYZ = 120o


Also, bisector of AYB is constructed such that:


AYB = XYA + XYB


XYB =


XYB = * 60o


XYB = 30o


Now,


XYZ = BYZ + XYB


= 60o + 30o


= 90o
