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
