Draw a right angle and construct its bisector.

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted 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 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 , draw two arcs cutting each other at D. 7. Join OD and produce it to form a ray. Hence, ray OD is the bisector of right angle ∠BOC, and ∠BOD = ∠DOC = 45°.
