(a)
Answer to Problem 6WE
The figure is:
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The angle to draw is
Calculation:
To construct the angles of
Step 1: Draw the line
Step 2: Place the compass vertex on the angle’s vertex A.
Step 3: Set the compass to any convenient radius and draw an arc on AB at some point. Mark that point as L with same radius.
Step 4: With centre as L and radius more than LM draw an arc.
Step 5: With centre M and without changing the radius of the compass intersect the arc at point N.
Step 6: Draw a line from A to where the arcs intersect.
The figure is:
Hence, the required construction.

Step 5: With centre M and without changing the radius of the compass intersect the arc at point N.
Step 6: Draw a line from A to where the arcs intersect and angle constructed is
Step 7: With centre Q and radius more than QM draw an arc.
Step 8: With centre M and without changing the radius of the compass intersect the arc at point P.
Step 9: Draw a line passing through A and P to construct an angle of
The figure is:
Hence, the required construction.
