Answer

Steps:

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

  2. With O as centre and suitable radius, draw an arc to cut the 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.

  4. Join OC and produce it to form ray OC. Then ∠BOC = 90°.

  5. To bisect ∠BOC, with O as centre and any suitable radius, draw an arc to meet OB at P and OC 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 D.

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

Draw a right angle and construct its bisector. Practical Geometry (Constructions), ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 6.

Hence, ray OD is the bisector of right angle ∠BOC, and ∠BOD = ∠DOC = 45°.
