Answer

Steps:

  1. Draw a ray OA.

  2. Place the centre of the protractor at O and the zero line along OA. Mark a point at 127°.

  3. Remove the protractor and join O with the marked point and produce it to B. Then ∠AOB = 127°.

  4. With O as centre and any (suitable) radius, draw an arc to meet ray OA at C and ray OB at D.

  5. With C as centre and any suitable radius (>12CD)\left(\gt\dfrac{1}{2}\text{CD}\right), draw an arc. Also, with D as centre and same radius, draw another arc to meet the previous arc at E.

  6. Join OE and produce it to form a ray.

Hence, ray OE is the required bisector of ∠AOB, and ∠AOE = ∠EOB = 63.5°.
