Constructions

Ex.11.1 Q.4
Construct the following angles and verify by measuring them by a protractor:
1. 750
2. 1050
3. 1350
1. 750
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 750.
(1) Take the given ray PQ. Draw an arc of some radius taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R.
(2) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at S.
(3) Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T.
(4) Taking S and T as centre, draw an arc of same radius to intersect each other at U.
(5) Join PU. Let it intersect the arc at V. Taking S and V as centre, draw arcs with the angle
so formed can be measured with the help of a protractor. It comes to be 750.
2. 1050
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 1050.
(1) Take the given ray PQ. Draw an arc of some radius taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R.
(2) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at S.
(3) Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T.
(4) Taking S and T as centre, draw an arc of same radius to intersect each other at U.
(5) Join PU. Let it intersect the arc at V. Taking T and V as centre, draw arcs with radius more than .
Let these arcs intersect each other at W.
Join PW which is the required ray making 1050 with the given ray PQ.
The angle so formed can be measured with the help of a protractor. It comes to be 1050.
3. 1350
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 1350.
(1) Take the given ray PQ. Extend PQ on the opposite side of Q. Draw a semi-circle of some
radius taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R and W.
(2) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the
previously drawn arc at S.
(3) Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T.
(4) Taking S and T as centre, draw an arc of same radius to intersect each other at U.
(5) Join PU. Let it intersect the arc at V. Taking V and W as centre and with radius more than ,
draw arcs to intersect each other at X.
Join PX, which is the required ray making 1350 with the given line PQ.
The angle so formed can be measured with the help of a protractor. It comes to be 1350.
