1) For 30° -
* Starting with a Ray :
1. Draw a ray AB. Let A be the vertex of the angle we're going to construct.
2 . Place the tip of the compass on A and draw an arc which cuts AB at some point (say X). Let's call this arc as Arc One. Retain this width of the compass for the remaining steps.
3 . Place the tip of the compass on X and draw another arc (call it Arc Two) which cuts Arc One at some point (say Y).
4 . Place the tip of the compass on Y and draw another arc (Arc Three) so as to cut Arc Two at a point (say Z) which is on that side of Arc Two which does not contain the point A.
5 . Connect the points A and Z with a straight line and extend it to form a ray AC.
The measure of the angle CAB is 30° . Erase any extraneous constructions if you so wish.
