Construction of different angles
a. Construction of 60° angle.
Step 1: Draw a line m and mark a point C on it.
Step 2: Take C as the centre and draw an arc of any radius to cut the line at point D.
Step 3: Take D as the centre, draw an arc of the same radius to cut the arc of step 2 at E.
Step 4: Join CE. ∠ECD = 60°.

b. Construction of 120° angle. It is the twice of 60° angle.

Step 1: Draw a line m and mark a point C on it.
Step 2: Put the compass on point C and draw an arc of any radius which cuts the line m at point D.
Step 3: While taking D as the centre, draw an arc with the same radius to cut the arc of step 2 at E.
Again take E as the centre and draw an arc of the same radius to cut the arc of step 2 at point F.
Step 4: Join CF. ∠FCD = 120°.

c. Construction of 30° angle. It is half of 600. d. Construction of 90° angle

Draw an angle of 60°.
Taking A and B as centre respectively draw arcs
which intersect each other at point C. Join OC.
∠COA = 300
It can be made by two methods-
Method 1- Draw a perpendicular bisector of 180° i.e. a
straight line. In fig. ∠COA = 90°.
Method 2- Draw a bisector of 60° and 120°.
In fig. ∠AOA = 90°

Method 2
Method 1

0
2. Construct the angle of measure 135 with the help of
ruler and a pair of compasses.
