Question
Draw a right angle and construct its bisector.
Solution
The below given steps will be followed to construct a right angle and its bisector.
- Draw a line l and mark a point P on it. Draw an arc of convenient radius, while taking point P as centre. Let it intersect line l at R.
- Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at S.
- Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T (see figure).
- Taking S and T as centres, draw arcs of same radius to intersect each other at U.
- Join PU. PU is the required ray making 90º with line l. Let it intersect the major arc at point V.
- Now, taking R and V as centres, draw arcs with radius more than `1/2`RV to intersect each other at W. Join PW.
PW is the required bisector of this right angle.
