Answer

Steps:

  1. Draw any line l and take a point O on it.

  2. With O as centre and suitable radius, draw two arcs to cut line l at points A and B.

  3. With A and B as centres, draw two arcs of equal radius (>12AB)\left(\gt\dfrac{1}{2}\text{AB}\right) cutting each other at C. Join OC and produce it. Then ∠BOC = 90°.

  4. Now we bisect ∠BOC by drawing two equal arc from point B and F, cutting each other at point D. Join OD and the bisector is ray OD. Then ∠BOD = 45°.

  5. Now to bisect ∠BOD, with O as centre and any suitable radius, draw an arc to meet OB at P and OD at Q.

  6. With P and Q as centres and equal radii (>12PQ)\left(\gt\dfrac{1}{2}\text{PQ}\right), draw two arcs cutting each other at E.

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

Draw an angle of measure 45° and bisect it. Practical Geometry (Constructions), ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 6.

Hence, ray OE is the bisector of ∠BOD = 45°, and ∠BOE = ∠EOD = 22.5°.
