Question
Construct the 60° angle, using ruler and a pair of compass only.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
To construct an angle of 60°.
- Draw a line OA of any suitable length.
- At o, draw an arc of any size to cut OA at B.
- With B as a centre, draw the same size arc, to cut the previous arc at C.
- Join OC and extend up to a suitable point D, Then, ∠DOA = 60°.
