Construct the following angles and verify by measuring them by a protractor:

75°

Solution

(i) 75°

Given: A ray OA.
Required: To construct an angle of 75° at O.
Steps of Construction:
1. Taking O as centre and some radius, draw an arc of a circle, which intersects OA, say at a point B.

2. Taking B as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc, say at a point C.
3. Taking C as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc drawn in step 1, say at D.
4. Join the ray OE passing through C. Then ∠EOA = 60°.
5. Draw the ray OF passing through D. Then ∠FOE = 60°.
6. Next, taking C and D as centres and with the radius more than 1 half CD, draw arcs to intersect each other, say at G.
7. Draw the ray OG intersecting the arc of step 1 at H. This ray OG is the bisector of the intersect each other, say at G. 7. Draw the ray OG intersecting the arc of step 1 at H. This ray OG is the bisector of the angle FOE,

8. Next, taking C and H as centres and with the radius more than 1 half CH, draw arcs to intersect each other, say at I.
9. Draw the ray OI. This ray OI is the bisector of the angle GOE,

On measuring the ∠IOA by protractor, we find that ∠IOA = 15°.
Thus the construction is verified.
