Answer:
Construction →
To construct an angle 90° , following the given steps :
- Draw a ray OA .
- Take O as a centre with radius , draw an arc DCB is that cuts OA at B .
- with B as s centre with same radius , mark a point C on the are DCB .
- with C as centre with the same radius , mark a point D on the are DCB .
- take C and D as centre , draw two arcs which intersect each other with same radius at P .
- finally , the ray OP is joined which an angle 90° with OP is formed .
Justification →
To prove angle POA = 90°
in order to prove this , draw a dotted line from the point O to C and O to D and the angles formed are :
from the construction , it is observed that
OB = BC = OC
Therefore , OBC is an equilateral triangle
So , that angle BOC = 60°
Similarly ,
OD = DC = OC
Therefore , DOC is an equilateral triangle
So , that angle DOC = 60°
from SSS triangle congruence rule
triangle OBC = OCD
So , angle BOC = angle DOC ( by C.P.C.T )
Therefore , angle COP = 1/2 angle DOC = 1/2 ( 60° )
angle COP = 30°
To find the angle POA = 90°
angle POA = angle BOC + angle COP
angle POA = 60° + 30°
angle POA = 90°
hence , justified .
