draw an angle of 60digree and bisector
Answers
Answer:
This page shows how to construct (draw) a 60 degree angle with compass and straightedge or ruler. This construction works by creating an equilateral triangle. Recall that an equilateral triangle has all three interior angles 60°.
Answer: 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
To construct a 30° angle, you must first construct a 60° angle as above and then bisect the angle.
