Important Questions on Construction of Angles
Construct an angle of using ruler and compass.

Construct an angle which is half of using ruler and compass.

Construct an angle which is one-third of using ruler and compass.

Construct an angle of using ruler and compass.

Steps of construction:
1. Take any suitable radius and as the centre, draw an arc which cuts a ray at point .2. With point as centre and the same radius, mark an arc and name it as . Again put your compass at and with the same radius, draw an arc which intersects the initial arc at .
3. Fix your compass at , draw an arc with a convenient radius. Repeat the process by putting the compasses at and let the two arcs intersect at . Join . .
4. Now, bisect the obtained angle between and . Mark it as . _____

It is possible to construct the angle using a compass and ruler.

In the first square paper, the sides are folded about the corner point , in a way as shown in figure , so that the two folded parts overlaps each other perfectly.
When it is unfolded, the folds are marked as in figure .
It is found that,
Again if the side is folded about the point such that coincides with , it is unfolded
Then, _____

To construct an angle of , we need to draw first

Satish followed the steps given below
Step : Construct an angle of .
Step : Bisect the angle.
Step : Bisect one of the angles obtained in step .
Which step is not required to construct a angle?

A circular piece of paper is divided into two equal parts.
Next, the semi-circular piece is again folded so that the folds are equal.
This folded paper is folded once again, as drawn in the figure. Once again it is folded.
Now, it is unfolded
The angles formed are measured with a protractor.
If the portion of is cut off, the measure of .

Step 1: Let us draw any line segment with scale pencil.
Step 2: Now, with centre and with any radius, lets draw an arc with compass, so that it cuts the line segment at .
Step 3: Next with centre and with the same radius, lets draw an arc which cuts the previous arc at .
Step 4: Now, the points and are joined and extended. The angle is formed _____.

Which of the following can be used to construct a angle?

If the angle which should be bisected to construct a angle is , then find the value of .

Between and , only _____ can be drawn with the help of compass and ruler.

In the first square paper, the sides are folded about the corner point , in a way as shown in figure , so that the two folded parts overlaps each other perfectly.
When it is unfolded, we shall find the mark as in figure
We find _____

Step : Draw a ray .
Step : With as centre and any convenient radius draw an arc to cut at .
Step : With as centre and the same radius draw an arc to cut at
Step : With as centre and the same radius, draw an arc to cut at .
Step : Draw and produce it to . An angle is constructed.
If the measure of angle formed is , then write the value of .

Steps of construction:
1. Take any suitable radius and draw an arc which cuts ray at point .
2. With point as centre and the same radius, mark an arc and name it as . Again put your compasses at and with the same radius, draw an arc which intersects the initial arc at .
3. Fix your compasses at , draw an arc with a convenient radius. Repeat the process by putting the compasses at and let the two arcs intersect at . Join . .
4. Now, Bisect the obtained angle and . Mark it as . .
5. Bisect to get the required angle. The angles and are bisected and mark it as .
6. Hence, the required angle is _____. (Express in decimal)

A circular piece of paper is divided into two equal parts.
Next, the semi-circular piece is again folded so that the folds are equal.
This folded paper is folded once again, as drawn in the figure. Once again it is folded.
Now, it is unfolded
