Question

Draw an 60 digree angle write the steps also.

Answer 1

Answer:

Constructing an angle

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:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1:  Draw the arm PQ.

Step 2:  Place the point of the compass at P and draw an arc that passes through Q.

Step 3:  Place the point of the compass at Q and draw an arc that passes through P.  Let this arc cut the arc drawn in Step 2 at R.
