Angle of 60°.

$\setlength{\unitlength}{8mm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\put(0,0){\line(6,0){6}}\qbezier(2,4)(2,4)(0,0)\qbezier(0.9,0)(1.1,0.6)(0.4,0.8)\put(1.2,1){ \sf 60^\circ }\put(5.7,-1){ \sf \: C }\put(0,-1){ \sf \: B }\put(2.2,4){ \sf \: A }\end{picture}$

STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION :

• Draw a base line BC of 5 cm.
• Draw a right angle ABC means 90° perpendicular to the BC.
• Take a compass and fix on the point B and mark the point taking more than half distance on A and C.
• The new points on the ray A and C be P and Q.
• Taking P as a point, draw an arc and Taking Q as point draw an arc which is intersecting the point p.
• Now point of new intersection formed be O.
• Join B and O.
• We get the angle of 45° which is equal to half of 90°.
• Apply the same steps to find the angle between 45° and that angle will be of 60°.
• Hence, The 60° angle is formed.
• Therefore, ∠OBC = 60°.
