Constructing a 60° angle
To construct a 60° angle, we first draw a line of any length. Then using a compass, we use this as a base to construct an equilateral triangle.
Two lines forming angle RPQ which is labelled 60°. There is an arc at point R.
To construct the equilateral triangle, we:
45°
open the compass to the same dimensions as our original line
place the point of the compass on one end of the line and draw an arc
repeat this at the other end and the arcs should intersect where the tip of the triangle should be
Connect the tip of the triangle to one end of the base, and you will have a 60° angle.
Place compass on intersection point
Adjust compass width to reach start point
Draw an arc that intersects perpendicular line
Place ruler on start point and where arc intersects perpendicular line
Draw 45 Degree Line
