Question.
Construct the following angles and verify by measuring them by a protractor:
(i) $75^{\circ}$
(ii) $105^{\circ}$
(iii) $135^{\circ}$
(i) $75^{\circ}$
(ii) $105^{\circ}$
(iii) $135^{\circ}$
Solution:
(i) $75^{\circ}$
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 75°.
(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 (see figure).
(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 radius more than $\frac{1}{2} S V$. Let those intersect each other at $W$.Join PW which is the required ray making 75° with the given ray PQ.
The angle so formed can be measured with the help of a protractor. It comes to be 75º.
(ii) $105^{\circ}$
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 105°.
(1) Take the given ray PQ. Draw an arc of some radius taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R.
